# What’s Cooking? vs Munch Addict

The clearest difference is rating: Munch Addict at 4.7 against What’s Cooking?'s 4.0. What’s Cooking?'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Munch Addict holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 79 and 142 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of What’s Cooking?'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Munch Addict's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

What’s Cooking? ships an update every 4 weeks, Munch Addict every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
