# 두근두근 레스토랑 vs LINE CHEF

The clearest difference is rating: LINE CHEF at 4.7 against 두근두근 레스토랑's 3.5. LINE CHEF also leads on ratings volume (452 vs 24). 두근두근 레스토랑's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 두근두근 레스토랑 sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and LINE CHEF sells 34 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LINE CHEF holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LINE CHEF has 452 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of 두근두근 레스토랑's written reviews are positive against 47% of LINE CHEF's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

두근두근 레스토랑 ships an update monthly, LINE CHEF every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
