Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cooking Time Planner at 5.0 against BeerPassport's 4.4. Cooking Time Planner also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). BeerPassport's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
