Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Tylde at 5.0 against MasterChef's 4.3. Tylde also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). MasterChef's advantage is ratings volume (636 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MasterChef sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Tylde sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tylde holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MasterChef has 636 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
MasterChef ships an update monthly, Tylde every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
