Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BEC USA holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BEC USA has 204 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Pear Chef's written reviews are positive against 29% of BEC USA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pear Chef ships an update every 19 months, BEC USA every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
