Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Commissary Deli at 2.8 against ChowCall's 1.7. Commissary Deli also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months). ChowCall's advantage is review sentiment (31% vs 16%) and ratings volume (23 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Commissary Deli holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChowCall has 23 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of ChowCall's written reviews are positive against 16% of Commissary Deli's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ChowCall ships an update every 3 months, Commissary Deli every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
