Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Spatula at none against Kneaded's 2. Spatula also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Kneaded's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (4 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
