Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 美食杰 at none against 下厨房's 8. 美食杰 also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). 下厨房's advantage is ratings volume (432K vs 3.4K) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
