Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bars at 100% against 菜谱's 56%. Bars also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). 菜谱's advantage is ratings volume (36 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
