# Philo vs Vox

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Vox at 17.0 against Philo's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Philo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Vox sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
