They are close in weight (250 g vs 230 g per cup), so swap 1:1 by volume in dips and dressings; for cooked sauces, crème fraîche holds together better under heat while sour cream can split. See sour cream in cups.
Cream cheese is a soft fresh cheese with the same weight as crème fraîche (230 g per cup each) but a denser, spreadable texture and a milder tang. Swap 1:1 by volume in cold dips and toppings; for cooked sauces, crème fraîche is the safer choice as cream cheese can turn grainy under heat. See cream cheese in cups.
