# SHIFT vs Ailin

The clearest difference is device support: SHIFT at 3 against Ailin's 1. SHIFT also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SHIFT sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Ailin sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
