# TLDR vs Read Forge

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: TLDR at 13.0 against Read Forge's 18.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TLDR sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Read Forge sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
