# NowSeen vs Light mapping

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Light mapping at 15.1 against NowSeen's 18.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NowSeen sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Light mapping sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
