Can't find the copied recipes for the dim sum you often make? I have a snack that I want to make temporarily, but the ratio of ingredients in the recipe I found online is different from the usual recipe? Private recipes can solve your troubles. Add various recipes that you like and often make, so you can open the recipes to cook food at any time. Built-in timing function, after the preparation of materials and steps, you can directly time the time You don't need to leave the screen, and the timing will continue when you check the materials and steps. I hope you like it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bake at 4.5 against Private Baking Recipe's 4.0. Bake also leads on ratings volume (183 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Private Baking Recipe's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 71%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bake sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Private Baking Recipe sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bake holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bake has 183 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Bake's written reviews are positive against 100% of Private Baking Recipe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bake ships an update every 2 weeks, Private Baking Recipe every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
