Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Meatmeet sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. BBQOVN asks for nothing beyond the download.
BBQOVN holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meatmeet has 38 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of BBQOVN's written reviews are positive against 44% of Meatmeet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
