# Tasting Grounds vs Coffi

The clearest difference is monetization model: Tasting Grounds at free against Coffi's free with in-app purchases. Tasting Grounds also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Coffi's advantage is review sentiment (94% vs 84%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tasting Grounds sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Coffi sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tasting Grounds holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 47 and 21 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Tasting Grounds's written reviews are positive against 94% of Coffi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tasting Grounds ships an update every 9 days, Coffi every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
