Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dee Jay's RIBwards at 75% against Hello Bistro's 23%. Hello Bistro's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 11 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
Hello Bistro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hello Bistro has 607 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Hello Bistro's written reviews are positive against 75% of Dee Jay's RIBwards's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hello Bistro ships an update every 6 weeks, Dee Jay's RIBwards every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and July 6, 2026 respectively.
