# Folio vs Shelfd

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Folio at 15.5 against Shelfd's 26.2. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Folio sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Shelfd sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
