# C vs Wind Pilot

The clearest difference is chart position: C at #111 against Wind Pilot's unranked. Wind Pilot's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. C sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Wind Pilot sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
