The clearest difference is rating: Velada · Restaurant guide at 4.9 against MACARFI's 4.3. Velada · Restaurant guide also leads on ratings volume (47 vs 4).

Both are free to download. Velada · Restaurant guide sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. MACARFI asks for nothing beyond the download.

Velada · Restaurant guide holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Velada · Restaurant guide has 47 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of MACARFI's written reviews are positive against 89% of Velada · Restaurant guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
