# Buddhas vs Thiền Quán

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Thiền Quán at none against Buddhas's 10. Buddhas's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Buddhas sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Thiền Quán asks for nothing beyond the download.

Buddhas ships an update fortnightly, Thiền Quán every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
