Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Thermomix® Cookidoo® App at 74% against Lunch's 25%. Thermomix® Cookidoo® App also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#38 vs unranked). Lunch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
