# 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) and chart position (#209 vs unranked). 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.
