# Apple Grapple vs Threadline

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Threadline at none against Apple Grapple's 21. Threadline also leads on ads (none vs shown). Apple Grapple's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Apple Grapple sells 21 one-off in-app purchases. Threadline asks for nothing beyond the download.
