# TatePad vs ShortIdea

The clearest difference is ads: ShortIdea at none against TatePad's shown. TatePad's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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