# Talon vs PHP Recipes

The clearest difference is rating: PHP Recipes at 5.0 against Talon's 4.6. PHP Recipes also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Talon's advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Talon sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and PHP Recipes sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PHP Recipes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Talon has 29 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
