# Sardi's vs Kitchen No.1

The clearest difference is ads: Kitchen No.1 at none against Sardi's's shown. Kitchen No.1 also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 39%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Sardi's's advantage is ratings volume (893 vs 38) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support 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 Sardi's against 4.8 for Kitchen No.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sardi's has 893 ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 39% of Sardi's's written reviews are positive against 67% of Kitchen No.1's.

Sardi's ships an update every 4 months, Kitchen No.1 every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
