# Blaster Chef vs Chef Match

The clearest difference is rating: Blaster Chef at 4.5 against Chef Match's 3.6. Blaster Chef also leads on ratings volume (59 vs 5) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). Chef Match's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 71%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blaster Chef sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Chef Match sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Blaster Chef holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blaster Chef has 59 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Blaster Chef's written reviews are positive against 100% of Chef Match's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Blaster Chef ships an update weekly, Chef Match every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
