# A5 Journal vs Custom Keyboard

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Custom Keyboard at 13.0 against A5 Journal's 15.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. A5 Journal sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Custom Keyboard sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
