# Pixa vs Before

The clearest difference is device support: Pixa at 3 against Before's 1. Pixa also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.2). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixa sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Before sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
