Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Wade's at none against Lean Kitchen's shown. Wade's also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Lean Kitchen's advantage is ratings volume (56 vs 11) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
