# MLA vs eSign

The clearest difference is device support: MLA at 3 against eSign's 1. MLA also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MLA sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and eSign sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MLA ships an update every 2 weeks, eSign every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
