The app allows downloading recipes for offline access, ensuring access even without an internet connection. Shopping for ingredients is simplified with the ability to add recipe ingredients directly to a grocery list.

App tokens can be generated through the security settings in your Nextcloud web interface.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cookbook Client at 5.0 against Nextcloud Cookbook's 4.0.

Nextcloud Cookbook's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 4) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
