# Winmail Viewer vs BeaconPad

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Winmail Viewer at 17 against BeaconPad's 26.2. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Winmail Viewer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and BeaconPad sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
