# HypeDay vs Backtick

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Backtick at 17.0 against HypeDay's 26.2. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HypeDay sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Backtick sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
