# Pattern vs Alison

The clearest difference is device support: Alison at 4 against Pattern's 1. Alison 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. Pattern sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Alison sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
