Three ways to run a cook. One log to remember all of them. BBQ AI is the pitmaster in your pocket — and the pit notebook you never remember to keep. THE COOK LOG. FREE, ALWAYS. Write down any cook in seconds: pit temp, pull temp, total time, rest, wood, ambient temp, your own 0–100 score, and the notes you'll actually want next time. No photo, no credits, no account, no signal — log a 3am brisket from a field with zero bars. Unlimited and free, forever. Filter your history, see what actually worked, and stop making the same mistake twice. RAW-CUT SCANNER. Point your camera at any cut. The AI identifies it, estimates weight and thickness, and builds a full plan for your exact setup — offset smoker, pellet grill, charcoal, gas, kamado, cast iron, or the kitchen oven. Temps, times, seasoning, technique. AI COOK JUDGING. Snap the finished cook and get scored like it's competition day — crust, doneness, slicing, moisture — plus specific coaching on what to fix. Then add your side of the story: your own score, your notes, and every number from the cook, saved to the same log. FINISH-TIME TRACKING. Mid-cook, snap a photo of your thermometer and let the AI project your finish time. No more guessing, no more dried-out brisket. BUILT-IN COOK TIMER. Starts the second the food hits the heat, so you're never eyeballing the clock. PRO TEMP GUIDE. Pull temps, rest temps, and carryover for every cut — the cheat sheet real pitmasters use. Start free: the cook log is unlimited and always free, and your first two raw scans and first two judged cooks are on the house. Ready for unlimited plans and unlimited judging? Upgrade to BBQ AI Pro for $4.99/mo, $39.99/yr, or grab it for life. Keep every cook. Learn from every cook. Download BBQ AI.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sweetfin at none against BBQ AI's 3. Sweetfin also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). BBQ AI's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
