# 5k Simple vs First 5K

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: First 5K at 15.1 against 5k Simple's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 5k Simple sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and First 5K sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
