Verdict
The clearest difference is chart position: CookBook at #52 against eater's unranked. CookBook also leads on device support and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. CookBook sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and eater sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $39.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
