# Hosty vs Expose HTTP Server

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Expose HTTP Server at 15.0 against Hosty's 18.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hosty sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Expose HTTP Server sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
