# OpenTable vs BrewIQ

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 (#21 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.
