Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The MICHELIN Guide at none against Oeni's 12. The MICHELIN Guide also leads on ratings volume (7.6K vs 950). Oeni's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 41%) and chart position (#31 vs #182). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The MICHELIN Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The MICHELIN Guide has 7.6K ratings behind it against 950, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of The MICHELIN Guide's written reviews are positive against 73% of Oeni's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

The MICHELIN Guide ships an update every 9 days, Oeni every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
