# SQL Recipes vs Learning SQL

Learning SQL also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 91%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). SQL Recipes's advantage is ratings volume (109 vs 7). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SQL Recipes has 109 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of SQL Recipes's written reviews are positive against 100% of Learning SQL's.
