# 2 vs Start Now

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Start Now at 5 against 2's 1. Start Now also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Start Now sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for 2 against 5.0 for Start Now. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Start Now has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
