Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 3Natives at none against Zester Recipe's 3. 3Natives also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Zester Recipe's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
