Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Up Left Out at weekly against Superstar Chefs's every 11 months. Up Left Out also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 37). Superstar Chefs's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $2.99) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Superstar Chefs costs $0.99 and Up Left Out $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Up Left Out holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Up Left Out has 1.2K ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Superstar Chefs's written reviews are positive against 88% of Up Left Out's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Superstar Chefs ships an update every 11 months, Up Left Out weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
