# XYZ vs Unpack

The clearest difference is ads: Unpack at none against XYZ's shown. XYZ's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. XYZ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Unpack sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
