Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Dish Society at none against Black Walnut's shown. Dish Society also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 22). Black Walnut's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Dish Society holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dish Society has 1.5K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Black Walnut's written reviews are positive against 79% of Dish Society's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Black Walnut ships an update every 6 months, Dish Society every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
