# OpenFocus vs Box

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OpenFocus at none against Box's 1. Box's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Box sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. OpenFocus asks for nothing beyond the download.
