Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: LettuceEats at 4.9 against Semy's 4.0. LettuceEats also leads on ratings volume (21K vs 40). Semy's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (78% vs 59%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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

LettuceEats holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LettuceEats has 21K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of LettuceEats's written reviews are positive against 78% of Semy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LettuceEats ships an update monthly, Semy every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
