Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Meez at none against Chef Notebook's 2. Meez also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.5). Chef Notebook's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
