Sour cream is cream cultured with lactic acid bacteria, giving it a thick, spoonable texture and a mild tang. One metric cup (250 ml) of sour cream weighs around 250 grams or 8.82 ounces. It is used in cakes and quick breads for tenderness, in dips and dressings for body and bite, and as a topping for baked potatoes and chilli.
Tubs of sour cream are sold by weight, but recipes ask for cups or tablespoons. Converting between the two stops you over-spooning into a delicate cake batter or short-measuring a dressing.

Cream cheese is denser and milder than sour cream, with similar fat content but no live cultures to give the same tang. They are close in weight (230 g vs 250 g per cup), so swap 1:1 by volume in cake batters or frostings; expect a slightly richer, less tangy result with cream cheese. See what 100 grams of cream cheese is in teaspoons.
Plain yoghurt and sour cream share a tangy flavour, though yoghurt is lighter and thinner. They are close in weight (258 g vs 250 g per cup), so swap 1:1 by volume in cakes and dressings; for thicker dips or frostings, sour cream holds its shape better. See what 100 grams of plain yoghurt is in teaspoons.
Greek yoghurt is strained yoghurt with a thick texture close to sour cream. They are close in weight (260 g vs 250 g per cup) and swap 1:1 in baking and dips, though Greek yoghurt brings a sharper tang and less fat. See what 100 grams of greek yoghurt is in teaspoons.
Buttermilk is a thin, pourable tangy liquid, while sour cream is thick and spoonable. To use sour cream in place of buttermilk, thin it with milk in a 3:1 ratio until pourable; flavour and acidity stay close. See what 250 grams of buttermilk is in teaspoons.
Crème fraîche is richer and more stable under heat than sour cream, with higher fat content and a slightly milder tang.

Mayonnaise is mostly oil and egg, with a milder tang than sour cream. They are close in weight (230 g vs 250 g per cup), so swap 1:1 in slaws, dressings, and chocolate cake batters; expect a richer, less tangy result with mayonnaise. See what 100 grams of mayonnaise is in teaspoons.
Heavy cream is uncultured, so it lacks the tang of sour cream though it shares a high fat content. They are close in weight (240 g vs 250 g per cup); stir 1 teaspoon of lemon juice into 1 cup of heavy cream to mimic the tang when swapping in dips or dressings.
