# 大繁盛！ まんぷくマルシェ2 vs Monster Chef

The clearest difference is ads: 大繁盛！ まんぷくマルシェ2 at none against Monster Chef's shown. 大繁盛！ まんぷくマルシェ2 also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 70%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Monster Chef's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 5). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 大繁盛！ まんぷくマルシェ2 sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Monster Chef sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for 大繁盛！ まんぷくマルシェ2 against 4.8 for Monster Chef. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monster Chef has 1.8K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
