Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Breville+ Cooking at 4.6 against SteakMate's 3.6. Breville+ Cooking also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 8). SteakMate's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 44%) and iOS requirement (13.0.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Breville+ Cooking holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Breville+ Cooking has 3.6K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of SteakMate's written reviews are positive against 44% of Breville+ Cooking's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SteakMate ships an update every 5 months, Breville+ Cooking fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 5, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
