# Sotheby's vs Veggie Bestie

The clearest difference is rating: Veggie Bestie at 5.0 against Sotheby's's 3.4. Veggie Bestie also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Sotheby's's advantage is ratings volume (97 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

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

Veggie Bestie holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sotheby's has 97 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Sotheby's ships an update every 2 weeks, Veggie Bestie every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
