# LINE CHEF vs Crazy Diner

The clearest difference is ads: Crazy Diner at none against LINE CHEF's shown. Crazy Diner also leads on ratings volume (66K vs 456) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LINE CHEF sells 34 one-off in-app purchases and Crazy Diner sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for LINE CHEF against 4.7 for Crazy Diner. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crazy Diner has 66K ratings behind it against 456, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 47% of LINE CHEF's written reviews are positive against 59% of Crazy Diner's.

LINE CHEF ships an update every 2 months, Crazy Diner every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
