# Parental Control vs Family Secure

The clearest difference is ads: Family Secure at none against Parental Control's shown. Family Secure also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Parental Control sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Family Secure sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
