# Beli vs Recie

Beli and Recie both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Recie's written reviews are positive against 49% of Beli's. Beli's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 27) and chart position (#67 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beli sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $5.79 per month and Recie sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Recie holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beli has 18K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of Beli's written reviews are positive against 100% of Recie's.

Beli ships an update every 4 days, Recie weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
