# Pre vs First Tap

The clearest difference is update cadence: First Tap at every 9 days against Pre's monthly. Pre's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pre sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and First Tap sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pre ships an update monthly, First Tap every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
