Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Meal Planning at none against Nelko's 8. Meal Planning also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Nelko's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (21K vs 7). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
