Verdict

The call

Sous Chef and Kitchen Converter & Recipes both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of Sous Chef's written reviews are positive against 18% of Kitchen Converter & Recipes's. Sous Chef also leads on ratings volume (338 vs 8) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.1). Kitchen Converter & Recipes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
