Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VinoReel at none against iCook's 5. VinoReel also leads on ads (none vs shown). iCook's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
