# Subway® vs Picky Eats

Subway® and Picky Eats both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Picky Eats's written reviews are positive against 17% of Subway®'s. Picky Eats also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Subway®'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (1.2M vs 3). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Picky Eats sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Subway® asks for nothing beyond the download.

Picky Eats holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subway® has 1.2M ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 17% of Subway®'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Picky Eats's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
