Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: eCookbook at none against My Recipes's 2. eCookbook also leads on ads (none vs shown). My Recipes's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 33 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
