# Commune vs OrbView

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: OrbView at 15.1 against Commune's 17.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Commune sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and OrbView sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
