Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Recipe Book at 75% against Cocina Fácil's 23%. Recipe Book also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). Cocina Fácil's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Cocina Fácil sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Recipe Book sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cocina Fácil holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Cocina Fácil's written reviews are positive against 75% of Recipe Book's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cocina Fácil ships an update every 7 months, Recipe Book every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
