Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: X at free against xtraCHEF's subscription. X also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). xtraCHEF's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
