Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Kitchen Inbox at 5.0 against Spin the Night's 4.6. Kitchen Inbox also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%). Spin the Night's advantage is ratings volume (111 vs 3) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
