# Value vs What

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Value at 15.1 against What's 17.0. On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Value sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and What sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Value ships an update monthly, What every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
