# MasterChef vs Potion Punch 2+

The clearest difference is update cadence: Potion Punch 2+ at weekly against MasterChef's monthly. MasterChef's advantage is ratings volume (27K vs 3.6K) and device support (5 vs 3). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for MasterChef against 4.8 for Potion Punch 2+.
