# Anova Culinary vs AI Broccoli

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AI Broccoli at 100% against Anova Culinary's 32%. AI Broccoli also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Anova Culinary's advantage is ratings volume (26K vs 1) and chart position (#43 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Anova Culinary sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and AI Broccoli sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AI Broccoli holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anova Culinary has 26K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 32% of Anova Culinary's written reviews are positive against 100% of AI Broccoli's.
