# SMS io vs Fuel Plan

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fuel Plan at none against SMS io's 21. Fuel Plan also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SMS io sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Fuel Plan asks for nothing beyond the download.
