# Plum Recipe Saver vs KitchenKeepsake

The clearest difference is rating: KitchenKeepsake at 5.0 against Plum Recipe Saver's 4.2. KitchenKeepsake also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Plum Recipe Saver's advantage is ratings volume (69 vs 4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Plum Recipe Saver sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and KitchenKeepsake sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
