# PocketPets vs VIP

The clearest difference is ads: PocketPets at none against VIP's shown. VIP's advantage is iOS requirement (14.3 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
