# Yummzy vs Meal Ark

The clearest difference is monetization model: Meal Ark at freemium against Yummzy's subscription. Meal Ark also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1). Yummzy's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Yummzy sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Meal Ark sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Yummzy against 5.0 for Meal Ark. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meal Ark has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Yummzy ships an update every 2 weeks, Meal Ark every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
