# Alpha Omega vs Four Letters

Four Letters also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.5). Alpha Omega's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 785). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alpha Omega sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Four Letters sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alpha Omega has 5.7K ratings behind it against 785, so its average is the more settled of the two.
