# Shapling vs Islo

The clearest difference is ads: Islo at none against Shapling's shown. Shapling's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shapling sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Islo sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
