# 1 Bit Timer vs Backtick

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Backtick at 17.0 against 1 Bit Timer's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 1 Bit Timer sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Backtick sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
