# Deliveroo vs Himalayan Java

The clearest difference is rating: Deliveroo at 4.6 against Himalayan Java's 2.8. Deliveroo also leads on ratings volume (208K vs 11) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Himalayan Java's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads, 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.

Deliveroo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Deliveroo has 208K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 29% of Deliveroo's written reviews are positive against 13% of Himalayan Java's.

Deliveroo ships an update weekly, Himalayan Java every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
