Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Friendship Kitchen at 5.0 against McMenamins's 3.0. Friendship Kitchen also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 12 months). McMenamins's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
