# Menu Maker vs Chartik

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chartik at 100% against Menu Maker's 24%. Chartik also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Menu Maker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Menu Maker sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Chartik sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Chartik holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Menu Maker has 2.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 24% of Menu Maker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Chartik's.

Menu Maker ships an update every 6 weeks, Chartik every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
