Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Bake at 4.5 against My Cake Calculator's 4.1. Bake also leads on ratings volume (185 vs 8). My Cake Calculator's advantage is review sentiment (93% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Cake Calculator sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Bake sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bake holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bake has 185 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of My Cake Calculator's written reviews are positive against 71% of Bake's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My Cake Calculator ships an update fortnightly, Bake every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
