Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WinCC V7 SBS at none against NextChef's shown. WinCC V7 SBS also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 16.4). NextChef's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
