# My Lisp vs C++ Recipes

The clearest difference is price: C++ Recipes at Free against My Lisp's $3.99. C++ Recipes also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). My Lisp's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and review sentiment (69% vs 44%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

C++ Recipes is free to download; My Lisp costs $3.99 up front. C++ Recipes sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. My Lisp asks for nothing beyond the download.

C++ Recipes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 17 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of My Lisp's written reviews are positive against 44% of C++ Recipes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

My Lisp ships an update every 6 weeks, C++ Recipes every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
