# TangleApp vs Threadologie

TangleApp's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TangleApp sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.00 per month and Threadologie sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
