# Legacy vs Sift

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Legacy at 15.1 against Sift's 26.1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Legacy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Sift sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
