Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ItsChefTime at none against Rype's shown. Rype's advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ItsChefTime sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 3 months and Rype sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for ItsChefTime against 5.0 for Rype. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rype has 29 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
