Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BUBBO! at none against Chef Town's 10. BUBBO! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Chef Town's advantage is ratings volume (8.6K vs 7) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chef Town sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. BUBBO! asks for nothing beyond the download.
BUBBO! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.
