# Restaurant.com vs Munch

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Munch at 100% against Restaurant.com's 10%. Munch also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). Restaurant.com's advantage is ratings volume (46K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Munch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Restaurant.com has 46K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 10% of Restaurant.com's written reviews are positive against 100% of Munch's.

Restaurant.com ships an update every 2 months, Munch every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
