# Dunkin' vs Cinnabon

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Dunkin' at 1.4M against Cinnabon's 7.5K. Dunkin' also leads on chart position (#3 vs #131) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Dunkin' against 4.7 for Cinnabon. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dunkin' has 1.4M ratings behind it against 7.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 45% of Dunkin''s written reviews are positive against 34% of Cinnabon's.

Dunkin' ships an update every 5 weeks, Cinnabon every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
