# Good Food Magazine vs delicious.

The clearest difference is monetization model: Good Food Magazine at free with in-app purchases against delicious.'s subscription. Good Food Magazine also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 31%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). delicious.'s advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and chart position (#187 vs unranked). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Good Food Magazine sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and delicious. sells 26 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

delicious. holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 74 and 49 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Good Food Magazine's written reviews are positive against 31% of delicious.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Good Food Magazine ships an update every 2 months, delicious. every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
