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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
LiTime holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiTime has 264 ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of LiTime's written reviews are positive against 28% of CHEFBBQ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LiTime ships an update every 2 weeks, CHEFBBQ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
