# Mamaka vs Yo

The clearest difference is ads: Yo at none against Mamaka's shown. Yo also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and chart position (#210 vs unranked). Mamaka's advantage is ratings volume (997 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence 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 Mamaka against 5.0 for Yo. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mamaka has 997 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
