# RunBoost vs StartRunning

The clearest difference is device support: StartRunning at 4 against RunBoost's 2. On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RunBoost sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and StartRunning sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
