Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CestaChef at 100% against Hg's 47%. CestaChef also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Hg's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (259 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
