# Shelf vs ReadAura

The clearest difference is device support: ReadAura at 3 against Shelf's 1. ReadAura also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shelf sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and ReadAura sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
