# Scout vs SMS Code

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scout at none against SMS Code's 5. SMS Code's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SMS Code sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Scout asks for nothing beyond the download.
