# Beli vs PayMeal

The clearest difference is rating: Beli at 4.8 against PayMeal's 3.0. Beli also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (18K vs 4). PayMeal's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 83) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beli sells 24 in-app purchases, starting at $5.79 per month. PayMeal asks for nothing beyond the download.

Beli holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beli has 18K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Beli ships an update every 4 days, PayMeal every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
