Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Bindly at none against Cooking Star's shown. Bindly also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months). Cooking Star's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
