# ShieldBlock vs Web Shield

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Web Shield at 15.0 against ShieldBlock's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ShieldBlock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Web Shield sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
