Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BrainHub at none against Monster Chef's 14. BrainHub also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). Monster Chef's advantage is iOS requirement (13 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
