1000Yen Eats helps you find cheap meals in Japan. Every restaurant on the map serves at least one main dish for ¥1,000 or under. WHAT'S INSIDE • 26,423 restaurants across 78 Japanese cities • Real yen prices — sourced from menus, not guessed • JST-aware Open Now toggle (works correctly across timezones) • Cuisine filters: ramen, sushi, izakaya, curry, conbini, café and more • Tap a restaurant for hours, price range, address, photos • Save spots you want to try • Works offline — download a city, browse without signal NO SIGNUP REQUIRED Use the whole app anonymously. Optional Apple Sign In if you want to log meals, build streaks, and follow friends across devices. PRIVACY-FIRST • No ad networks, no tracking SDKs, no IDFA, no analytics SDKs • No App Tracking Transparency prompt — we have nothing to track • Location is used only while the app is open, never stored on our servers • Your meal logs and photos are private by default WHO IT'S FOR Travellers on a budget. Students living in Japan. Anyone who wants to eat well without spending much. Especially useful if you're tired of inflated travel-blog "cheap eats" lists that quote prices from 2019. WHAT IT'S NOT Not a review site. Not a ranking. Not a reservation engine (yet). Just a map of places where you can eat for under ¥1,000. DATA SOURCES Restaurant locations and basic info from OpenStreetMap and Google Places. Map tiles from Mapbox. Provided as-is — always verify hours and prices with the restaurant before going.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 1000Yen Eats at none against Provecho's 1. 1000Yen Eats also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). Provecho's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#109 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
