# The MICHELIN Guide vs Oeni

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The MICHELIN Guide at none against Oeni's 10. The MICHELIN Guide also leads on ratings volume (7.6K vs 960). Oeni's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 41%) and chart position (#29 vs #199). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Oeni sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per year. The MICHELIN Guide asks for nothing beyond the download.

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 960, 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.

The MICHELIN Guide ships an update every 9 days, Oeni every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
