ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

INKBIRD holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: INKBIRD has 6.9K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of INKBIRD's written reviews are positive against 44% of Meatmeet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

INKBIRD ships an update fortnightly, Meatmeet every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
