# SwiftType vs Dead Source

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: SwiftType at 15.1 against Dead Source's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SwiftType sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Dead Source sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
