# Launch Buddy vs MaxQ

The clearest difference is device support: Launch Buddy at 3 against MaxQ's 1. MaxQ's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Launch Buddy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and MaxQ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
