Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Veggie Bestie at 5.0 against Handy.com's 4.2. Veggie Bestie also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). Handy.com's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
