# File Type vs Unicode

The clearest difference is ads: Unicode at none against File Type's shown. Unicode also leads on iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. File Type sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Unicode sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
