Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MAMP Viewer at Free against Zource's $0.99. MAMP Viewer also leads on ratings volume (232 vs 5) and rating (4.0 vs 3.8). Zource's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 34%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
MAMP Viewer is free to download; Zource costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MAMP Viewer holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MAMP Viewer has 232 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Zource's written reviews are positive against 34% of MAMP Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Zource ships an update every 3 months, MAMP Viewer every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
