Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MeatMaster Pro at Free against BBQ's $1.99. MeatMaster Pro also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). BBQ's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#152 vs unranked). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
