# Ribs vs McDonald’s

The clearest difference is rating: Ribs at 5.0 against McDonald’s's 3.4. Ribs also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). McDonald’s's advantage is ratings volume (6.8K vs 1) and chart position (#120 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Ribs holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: McDonald’s has 6.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Ribs ships an update monthly, McDonald’s fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
