# Recipe Keeper vs WhatDish

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Recipe Keeper at 3.7K against WhatDish's 2. Recipe Keeper also leads on chart position (#86 vs unranked). WhatDish's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Recipe Keeper sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and WhatDish sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WhatDish holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Recipe Keeper has 3.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Recipe Keeper ships an update every 4 days, WhatDish daily. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
