# Eight Shot vs Continuo

The clearest difference is monetization model: Continuo at free against Eight Shot's free with in-app purchases. Continuo also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). Eight Shot's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
