The clearest difference is rating: Carrot Express at 3.1 against Chicken Kitchen's 2.5. Carrot Express also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 30 months). Chicken Kitchen's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
