# ThrillEats vs PlateShift

The clearest difference is monetization model: ThrillEats at free against PlateShift's freemium. ThrillEats also leads on ratings volume (13 vs 2). PlateShift's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ThrillEats sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and PlateShift sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PlateShift holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ThrillEats has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ThrillEats ships an update every 2 weeks, PlateShift every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
