Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pasta Crazy Chef at none against Candy Bar Maker's shown. Pasta Crazy Chef also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). Candy Bar Maker's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 32). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
