Verdict

The call

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.
