# SeeFood vs View Menu

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SeeFood at 100% against View Menu's 6%. SeeFood also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.1) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). View Menu's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (30 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SeeFood sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month and View Menu sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SeeFood holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: View Menu has 30 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of SeeFood's written reviews are positive against 6% of View Menu's.

SeeFood ships an update every 3 weeks, View Menu every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
