Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lean Kitchen at none against Recipe Pilot's 1. Lean Kitchen also leads on ratings volume (56 vs 4). Recipe Pilot's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
