Verdict
Pasta Machine and Cat Box Fever both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Cat Box Fever's written reviews are positive against 16% of Pasta Machine's. Cat Box Fever also leads on iOS requirement (12.5 vs 15.0). Pasta Machine's advantage is ratings volume (8.8K vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
