# Atlas vs Ecto

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Atlas at 18.0 against Ecto's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Atlas sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Ecto sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
