Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The MICHELIN Guide at 4.9 against Cook It's 1.0. The MICHELIN Guide also leads on ratings volume (7.5K vs 1) and chart position (#145 vs unranked). Cook It's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (50% vs 41%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
The MICHELIN Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The MICHELIN Guide has 7.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Cook It's written reviews are positive against 41% of The MICHELIN Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cook It ships an update weekly, The MICHELIN Guide every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
