# AXLY vs BIG Reader

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: AXLY at 15.1 against BIG Reader's 18.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AXLY sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and BIG Reader sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
