# API vs TextLayer Reader

The clearest difference is device support: API at 3 against TextLayer Reader's 1. API also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
