# Git client vs Markdown Mermaid

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Markdown Mermaid at none against Git client's 17. Markdown Mermaid also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.2). Git client's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and chart position (#14 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Git client sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Markdown Mermaid asks for nothing beyond the download.

Git client ships an update every 10 days, Markdown Mermaid every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
