Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Eatsly at every 2 weeks against Bruster's's every 5 months. Eatsly also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 59%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Bruster's's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bruster's holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bruster's has 1.2K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Bruster's's written reviews are positive against 88% of Eatsly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bruster's ships an update every 5 months, Eatsly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
