# Start Playing vs Key Lens

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Key Lens at 16.4 against Start Playing's 18.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Start Playing sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Key Lens sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
