Verdict
Dunkin' and Lemonade both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Lemonade's written reviews are positive against 44% of Dunkin''s. Lemonade also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Dunkin''s advantage is ratings volume (1.4M vs 4) and chart position (#28 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
