Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Crazy Diner at none against LINE CHEF's shown. Crazy Diner also leads on ratings volume (66K vs 456) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. LINE CHEF sells 34 one-off in-app purchases and Crazy Diner sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for LINE CHEF against 4.7 for Crazy Diner.
