# Dog's Kitchen vs Blinking

The clearest difference is rating: Dog's Kitchen at 4.6 against Blinking's 3.0. Dog's Kitchen also leads on ratings volume (16 vs 2). Blinking's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dog's Kitchen sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Blinking sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dog's Kitchen holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dog's Kitchen has 16 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Dog's Kitchen's written reviews are positive against 100% of Blinking's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dog's Kitchen ships an update fortnightly, Blinking every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
