Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FOODING® at 4.7 against Restaurant Advisor's 3.7. FOODING® also leads on ratings volume (314 vs 3). Restaurant Advisor's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
FOODING® holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FOODING® has 314 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Restaurant Advisor's written reviews are positive against 71% of FOODING®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Restaurant Advisor ships an update fortnightly, FOODING® every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
