Baker Percentage holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bread Book has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Baker Percentage's written reviews are positive against 75% of Bread Book's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Baker Percentage ships an update every 5 weeks, Bread Book every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
