Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Gourmate at 43% against KitchenIdea's 0%. My Gourmate also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (11 vs 2). KitchenIdea's advantage is rating (3.0 vs 2.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

KitchenIdea holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Gourmate has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of My Gourmate's written reviews are positive against 0% of KitchenIdea's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My Gourmate ships an update every 3 weeks, KitchenIdea every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and June 6, 2026 respectively.
