# McDonald's Japan vs RamenDays

The clearest difference is review sentiment: RamenDays at 70% against McDonald's Japan's 29%. RamenDays also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). McDonald's Japan's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RamenDays sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. McDonald's Japan asks for nothing beyond the download.

McDonald's Japan holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: McDonald's Japan has 162 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of McDonald's Japan's written reviews are positive against 70% of RamenDays's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

McDonald's Japan ships an update monthly, RamenDays every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
