# Audiobooks vs RestReader

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RestReader at none against Audiobooks's 1. RestReader also leads on ads (none vs shown). Audiobooks's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Audiobooks sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. RestReader asks for nothing beyond the download.
