# 愛料理 vs 愛食記

The clearest difference is ratings volume: 愛料理 at 2.6K against 愛食記's 295. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 愛料理 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and 愛食記 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 2 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for 愛料理 against 4.7 for 愛食記. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 愛料理 has 2.6K ratings behind it against 295, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 78% of 愛料理's written reviews are positive against 80% of 愛食記's.

愛料理 ships an update fortnightly, 愛食記 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
