# Private vs SMS Verification Code

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: SMS Verification Code at 13.0 against Private's 15.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Private sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and SMS Verification Code sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
