# Prod vs Privy

The clearest difference is device support: Prod at 3 against Privy's 1. Privy's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prod sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Privy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
