Both are free to download. OLIO sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Backyard Burgers asks for nothing beyond the download.
OLIO holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OLIO has 791 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of OLIO's written reviews are positive against 86% of Backyard Burgers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OLIO ships an update weekly, Backyard Burgers every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
