Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tip and Split at none against Recipe Keeper's 1. Tip and Split also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Recipe Keeper's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (30K vs 3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
