# 美食天下 vs 香哈菜谱

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 美食天下 at none against 香哈菜谱's 17. 美食天下 also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). 香哈菜谱's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (931 vs 23). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 香哈菜谱 sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. 美食天下 asks for nothing beyond the download.

香哈菜谱 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 香哈菜谱 has 931 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of 美食天下's written reviews are positive against 81% of 香哈菜谱's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

美食天下 ships an update every 9 days, 香哈菜谱 every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
