# DevBox vs DevKit

The clearest difference is ads: DevKit at none against DevBox's shown. DevBox's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DevBox sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and DevKit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DevBox ships an update every 3 days, DevKit every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
