BrewIQ is the complete coffee companion. A coach that tells you exactly what to change, a log of every brew and every bag, a community to climb, and a marketplace that already knows your taste. Everything you need to go from your first V60 to Coffee God, in one app. Meet Brewy - Your companion Brewy knows your grinder, your machine and the bag you are on. Tell Brewy how the cup tasted and you get one clear fix for tomorrow. "Go to 5 on the Fellow Opus." "Drop to 92°C." "Bloom 10 seconds longer." Real settings for your kit, never general advice. Every brew you log makes the next answer sharper. A Recipe For Your Kit Pick your brewer, grinder and bean and Brewy builds the recipe: dose, grind setting, water, temperature, and a pour schedule to follow. Every recommendation stays inside the range your grinder and machine can actually do. Over 800 grinders, espresso machines and brewers are already in the app, from De'Longhi and Breville to Fellow, Baratza, Hario and AeroPress. Track Your Brews, Tastes and More Dose, grind, temperature, ratio, time and yield for every brew. Origin, process, roast level and roast date for every bag, with a tracker that shows how much is left. Your streak and your history, searchable by day, method and score. BrewIQ knows when a bag is still degassing, at its peak, or fading, and adjusts its advice to match. See Your Taste Evolve Insights show which flavours you rate highest, which roasts and origins suit you, and how your scores move over weeks and months. Your palate, measured. Level Up With Your Friends Earn points for every brew, rating and recipe you share. Climb from Beginner to Home Barista, Dialled In, Barista, World Barista Champion and Coffee God. Unlock badges, keep your streak, and race your friends on the monthly leaderboard. Invite a friend and you both get time on Pro. Buy Beans Matched To Your Tastes The Marketplace scores every coffee from roasters against what you already rate highly, so you know before you buy. Order direct from the roaster and log the bag the day it lands. Download BrewIQ. Better coffee starts tomorrow morning.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OpenTable at none against BrewIQ's 1. OpenTable also leads on ratings volume (5.7M vs 1) and chart position (#19 vs unranked). BrewIQ's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (83% vs 75%). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BrewIQ sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. OpenTable asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for OpenTable against 5.0 for BrewIQ. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OpenTable has 5.7M ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of OpenTable's written reviews are positive against 83% of BrewIQ's.
OpenTable ships an update every 10 days, BrewIQ weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
