# StartWar vs Latchstring

The clearest difference is ads: Latchstring at none against StartWar's shown. StartWar's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StartWar sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Latchstring sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
