Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: GlucoBalance at every 3 weeks against SNAP Cooking's every 4 months. GlucoBalance also leads on ratings volume (16 vs 1). SNAP Cooking's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
