# Instant Status vs Friends Status

The clearest difference is ads: Instant Status at none against Friends Status's shown. Friends Status'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. Instant Status sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Friends Status sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
