# MealBoard vs CookFuse

The clearest difference is chart position: MealBoard at #159 against CookFuse's unranked. CookFuse's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MealBoard sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and CookFuse sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
