Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Deliveroo at 4.6 against Himalayan Java's 2.8. Deliveroo also leads on ratings volume (208K vs 11) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Himalayan Java's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
