Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Taste Masters at 4.6 against Genius Inc.'s 3.6. Taste Masters also leads on ratings volume (84 vs 8) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Genius Inc.'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 43%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Taste Masters sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Genius Inc. sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Taste Masters holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Taste Masters has 84 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Taste Masters's written reviews are positive against 67% of Genius Inc.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Taste Masters ships an update every 5 days, Genius Inc. every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
