# Protocol vs Bushido

The clearest difference is device support: Protocol at 3 against Bushido's 1. Protocol also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Protocol sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Bushido sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
