# Coffee Journal vs GrillPilot

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Coffee Journal at 30 against GrillPilot's 1. Coffee Journal also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Coffee Journal sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.90 per month and GrillPilot sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Coffee Journal against 5.0 for GrillPilot. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coffee Journal has 30 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
