# QFC vs SFMNP

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SFMNP at 100% against QFC's 14%. SFMNP also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). QFC's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 375). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

SFMNP holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QFC has 11K ratings behind it against 375, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 14% of QFC's written reviews are positive against 100% of SFMNP's.

QFC ships an update weekly, SFMNP every 17 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
