# Markdown vs Matrix

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Markdown at 15.1 against Matrix's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Markdown sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Matrix sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
