Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Chefy costs $1.99 and Ugly $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Chefy holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 91 and 40 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Chefy's written reviews are positive against 73% of Ugly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Chefy ships an update every 2 weeks, Ugly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
