# Once vs what comes before

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: what comes before at none against Once's 18. what comes before also leads on ads (none vs shown). Once's advantage is iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Once sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. what comes before asks for nothing beyond the download.
