# Start Now vs Summarize Text

The clearest difference is device support: Start Now at 3 against Summarize Text's 1. Start Now 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. Start Now sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year and Summarize Text sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
