# Crypted vs Howdlo

The clearest difference is ads: Howdlo at none against Crypted's shown. Crypted's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
