# Cooking Mama vs Source

The clearest difference is rating: Source at 5.0 against Cooking Mama's 4.1. Source also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Cooking Mama's advantage is ratings volume (9.9K vs 1) and chart position (#33 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cooking Mama sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Source asks for nothing beyond the download.

Source holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cooking Mama has 9.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
