Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Del Taco holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Del Taco has 43K ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of Del Taco's written reviews are positive against 13% of Mister Softee NorCal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Del Taco ships an update every 5 weeks, Mister Softee NorCal every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
