Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ItsChefTime at 5.0 against Makitra's 4.7. Makitra's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 2). On price, ads, 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
Both are free to download. Makitra sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year and ItsChefTime sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ItsChefTime holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Makitra has 31 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
