# Patchwork vs Pixel

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Pixel at 16.4 against Patchwork's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Patchwork sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pixel sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
