# Para vs Detox

The clearest difference is ads: Detox at none against Para's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Para sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.00 per month and Detox sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
