# First Step vs MindLink

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

Both are free to download. First Step sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and MindLink sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
