Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Grocery Shopping at 75% against View Menu's 11%. Grocery Shopping also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.1) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). View Menu's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (30 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grocery Shopping sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days and View Menu sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Grocery Shopping holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.1.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Grocery Shopping ships an update fortnightly, View Menu every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
