# ChowTracker vs Yumizo

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Yumizo at 100% against ChowTracker's 60%. Yumizo also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). ChowTracker's advantage is ratings volume (864 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ChowTracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Yumizo sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Yumizo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChowTracker has 864 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of ChowTracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Yumizo's.

ChowTracker ships an update every 3 weeks, Yumizo every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
