Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Bee at Free against Tomato Kitchen's $0.99. Bee also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (3K vs 1). Tomato Kitchen's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
