# Meat Cuts vs HomeID (Kitchen+)

The clearest difference is rating: HomeID (Kitchen+) at 4.8 against Meat Cuts's 3.6. HomeID (Kitchen+) also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 8). Meat Cuts's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HomeID (Kitchen+) sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Meat Cuts asks for nothing beyond the download.

HomeID (Kitchen+) holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HomeID (Kitchen+) has 2.3K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Meat Cuts's written reviews are positive against 44% of HomeID (Kitchen+)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Meat Cuts ships an update every 7 months, HomeID (Kitchen+) monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
