Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Cooking Dash™ at 4.7 against Kitchen Scramble's 3.6. Cooking Dash™ also leads on ratings volume (111K vs 3.2K) and chart position (#168 vs unranked). Kitchen Scramble's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and review sentiment (40% vs 32%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Kitchen Scramble sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Cooking Dash™ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cooking Dash™ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cooking Dash™ has 111K ratings behind it against 3.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Kitchen Scramble's written reviews are positive against 32% of Cooking Dash™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Kitchen Scramble ships an update fortnightly, Cooking Dash™ monthly. Both last shipped on October 19, 2026.
