# View Menu vs Menu This AI

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

Both are free to download. View Menu sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Menu This AI sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Menu This AI 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 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 6% of View Menu's written reviews are positive against 100% of Menu This AI's.

View Menu ships an update every 4 days, Menu This AI every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
