Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Chef's Quest at none against Tasty Tale's shown. Chef's Quest also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). Tasty Tale's advantage is ratings volume (4.6K vs 51) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Tasty Tale sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Chef's Quest sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tasty Tale holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tasty Tale has 4.6K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Tasty Tale's written reviews are positive against 71% of Chef's Quest's.
Tasty Tale ships an update every 3 months, Chef's Quest weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
