The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 麦当劳McDonald's at none against 下厨房's 8. 麦当劳McDonald's also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). 下厨房's advantage is ratings volume (432K vs 7.7K) and review sentiment (60% vs 39%). On price, rating, update cadence and monetization model there is nothing between them.
