# Star Cooking Chef vs Cooking Witch2

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cooking Witch2 at 100% against Star Cooking Chef's 33%. Cooking Witch2 also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 32 months). Star Cooking Chef's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (40 vs 7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Star Cooking Chef sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Cooking Witch2 sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
