Verdict
The clearest difference is price: StashGuard at Free against Lunchbox Recipes's $4.99. StashGuard also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). Lunchbox Recipes's advantage is chart position (#156 vs unranked). On rating, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

StashGuard is free to download; Lunchbox Recipes costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Lunchbox Recipes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StashGuard has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Lunchbox Recipes's written reviews are positive against 100% of StashGuard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lunchbox Recipes ships an update every 2 months, StashGuard every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
