# WeChef vs MealMarks

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MealMarks at 100% against WeChef's 50%. MealMarks also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 19) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). WeChef's advantage is ratings volume (548 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WeChef sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. MealMarks asks for nothing beyond the download.

MealMarks holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WeChef has 548 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of WeChef's written reviews are positive against 100% of MealMarks's.
