Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Master Grill at 4.6 against Half Balance's 2.5. Master Grill also leads on ratings volume (6.2K vs 31). Half Balance's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Master Grill holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Master Grill has 6.2K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Half Balance's written reviews are positive against 16% of Master Grill's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Half Balance ships an update every 2 weeks, Master Grill every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
