# Grocery Shopping vs View Menu

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.

Grocery Shopping holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: View Menu has 30 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Grocery Shopping's written reviews are positive against 11% of View Menu's.

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.
