Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RecipeDB at 100% against Kyuramen's 14%. RecipeDB also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.6). Kyuramen's advantage is price (Free vs $2.99) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
