# LaTeX OCR vs Formula Canvas

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: LaTeX OCR at 13.0 against Formula Canvas's 16.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LaTeX OCR sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Formula Canvas sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
