# Relay vs SimpleRequests

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

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