# Code Red vs Hello Cycle

The clearest difference is monetization model: Hello Cycle at free with in-app purchases against Code Red's subscription. Hello Cycle also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Code Red sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year and Hello Cycle sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
