Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: CHEF iQ at 36K against 80/20's 3. CHEF iQ also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3). 80/20's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CHEF iQ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CHEF iQ has 36K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of CHEF iQ's written reviews are positive against 50% of 80/20's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
