# Authora vs Quiet Write

The clearest difference is device support: Authora at 3 against Quiet Write's 1. Authora also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Authora sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Quiet Write sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
