# Ember vs Safa

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Safa at 13.0 against Ember's 15.1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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