# Snap2Cook vs Tastemade Cooking

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Snap2Cook at 85% against Tastemade Cooking's 38%. Snap2Cook also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). Tastemade Cooking's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 2). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tastemade Cooking sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Snap2Cook asks for nothing beyond the download.

Tastemade Cooking holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tastemade Cooking has 1.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Snap2Cook's written reviews are positive against 38% of Tastemade Cooking's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Snap2Cook ships an update monthly, Tastemade Cooking fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 8, 2026.
