Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cafe Express at 4.8 against The Rice Box Interface's 3.6. Cafe Express also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 22 months) and ratings volume (26 vs 5). The Rice Box Interface's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Cafe Express holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cafe Express has 26 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Cafe Express's written reviews are positive against 33% of The Rice Box Interface's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cafe Express ships an update every 3 months, The Rice Box Interface every 22 months. The most recent releases landed on August 11, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
