# Mr. Crab vs Funky Restaurant

The clearest difference is ads: Mr. Crab at none against Funky Restaurant's shown. Mr. Crab also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 44%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). Funky Restaurant's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mr. Crab sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Funky Restaurant sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Funky Restaurant holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.1K and 969 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Mr. Crab's written reviews are positive against 44% of Funky Restaurant's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mr. Crab ships an update every 3 months, Funky Restaurant every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
