Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Recipeatz at 5.0 against AppyHour's 4.5. Recipeatz also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). AppyHour's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (260 vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
