# SQL Recipes vs SQL Guide

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SQL Guide at none against SQL Recipes's 3. SQL Guide also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). SQL Recipes's advantage is ratings volume (109 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SQL Recipes sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. SQL Guide asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for SQL Recipes against 5.0 for SQL Guide. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SQL Recipes has 109 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
