# Borrow vs Ascy

The clearest difference is ads: Ascy at none against Borrow's shown. Ascy also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Borrow sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Ascy sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
