# Backlog vs The Stack

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: The Stack at 15.1 against Backlog's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Backlog sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and The Stack sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
