# Chocolate List vs Vegan Friendly

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chocolate List at 95% against Vegan Friendly's 52%. Chocolate List also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Vegan Friendly's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (472 vs 38). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

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

Chocolate List holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vegan Friendly has 472 ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 95% of Chocolate List's written reviews are positive against 52% of Vegan Friendly's.

Chocolate List ships an update every 5 months, Vegan Friendly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
