# BrainDrain vs Beacon

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Beacon at 15.1 against BrainDrain's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BrainDrain sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Beacon sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
