# OpenFile vs DBKit

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: DBKit at 16.6 against OpenFile's 26.2. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OpenFile sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and DBKit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
