# AppLimit vs SPENT

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: AppLimit at 16.0 against SPENT's 26.1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AppLimit sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and SPENT sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
