Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: canteen2go at 5.0 against AppyHour's 4.5. canteen2go also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). AppyHour's advantage is ratings volume (260 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
