# Chordology vs StringKit

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: StringKit at 17.0 against Chordology's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chordology sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and StringKit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
