# Beacon vs Bloom

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Beacon at 15.6 against Bloom's 18.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beacon sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Bloom sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
