Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Auto Mercado at 53% against Smart Cook's 0%. Auto Mercado also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Smart Cook's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
