Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Net Zero Challenge at none against Kitchen Garden Magazine's 10. Net Zero Challenge also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months). Kitchen Garden Magazine's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
