# First Table vs HydroMeal

The clearest difference is ads: HydroMeal at none against First Table's shown. HydroMeal also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). First Table's advantage is ratings volume (99 vs 1). On price, rating and in-app purchases 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 — 4.9 for First Table against 5.0 for HydroMeal. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: First Table has 99 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
