Verdict
Cold Stone and Spice Rack App both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Spice Rack App's written reviews are positive against 20% of Cold Stone's. Spice Rack App also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Cold Stone's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (23K vs 28). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
