# WishMaker vs Aura

The clearest difference is monetization model: WishMaker at free against Aura's freemium. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WishMaker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Aura sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
