# Style Queen vs Cooking Star

The clearest difference is ads: Style Queen at none against Cooking Star's shown. Style Queen also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 29%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). Cooking Star's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Style Queen sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Cooking Star sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cooking Star holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cooking Star has 654 ratings behind it against 101, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Style Queen's written reviews are positive against 29% of Cooking Star's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Style Queen ships an update every 5 weeks, Cooking Star every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
