Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Insider Facility Solutions at none against Sous Chef's 4. Insider Facility Solutions also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Sous Chef's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
