Eat Drink Cheap holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hunger Button has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Hunger Button's written reviews are positive against 60% of Eat Drink Cheap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hunger Button ships an update every 16 months, Eat Drink Cheap every 22 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
