# TasteMatch vs ChefQuest

The clearest difference is monetization model: ChefQuest at freemium against TasteMatch's subscription. ChefQuest also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%). TasteMatch's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (15 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TasteMatch sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and ChefQuest sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TasteMatch holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of TasteMatch's written reviews are positive against 100% of ChefQuest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
