# iShook vs Folio

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: iShook at 8.1 against Folio's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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