Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cognative Cafe at none against Ingles Markets's shown. Cognative Cafe also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). Ingles Markets's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
