# McDonald's vs Casey's

The clearest difference is ads: McDonald's at none against Casey's's shown. McDonald's also leads on chart position (#1 vs #63) and ratings volume (7.9M vs 432K). Casey's's advantage is review sentiment (51% vs 40%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for McDonald's against 4.8 for Casey's. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: McDonald's has 7.9M ratings behind it against 432K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 40% of McDonald's's written reviews are positive against 51% of Casey's's.

McDonald's ships an update fortnightly, Casey's every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
