# Drum Journal vs TapKit

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Drum Journal at 17.0 against TapKit's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Drum Journal sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and TapKit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
