# File Type vs Whirl

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Whirl at 15.0 against File Type's 26.0. On price, ads, 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 Whirl sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
