# Yes Chef! vs Magic Bakery

Yes Chef! and Magic Bakery both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 64% of Yes Chef!'s written reviews are positive against 25% of Magic Bakery's. Yes Chef! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Yes Chef! sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Magic Bakery sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Magic Bakery holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 56 and 20 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Yes Chef!'s written reviews are positive against 25% of Magic Bakery's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Yes Chef! ships an update monthly, Magic Bakery every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
