# PunchMate vs Shadow Box

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Shadow Box at 15.1 against PunchMate's 18.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PunchMate sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Shadow Box sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
