# Idle Space vs Dead Source

The clearest difference is ads: Dead Source at none against Idle Space's shown. Idle Space's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Idle Space sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Dead Source sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
