Verdict
The clearest difference is price: myPlat at Free against Kitchen Buddy's $0.99. myPlat also leads on iOS requirement (14.5 vs 16.6). Kitchen Buddy's advantage is update cadence (every 6 months vs every 20 months) and chart position (#149 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
