# Simmer Recipes vs Amazon Shopper Panel

Simmer Recipes and Amazon Shopper Panel both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of Simmer Recipes's written reviews are positive against 46% of Amazon Shopper Panel's. Amazon Shopper Panel's advantage is ratings volume (180K vs 36). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Amazon Shopper Panel holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Amazon Shopper Panel has 180K ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Simmer Recipes's written reviews are positive against 46% of Amazon Shopper Panel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Simmer Recipes ships an update every 2 weeks, Amazon Shopper Panel every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
