Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hey Chef at 4.3 against Cano's 2.0. Cano's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 53%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Hey Chef holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Hey Chef's written reviews are positive against 76% of Cano's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hey Chef ships an update every 3 months, Cano monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
