Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SlugMenu at 100% against Sprinkles Now!'s 28%. SlugMenu also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Sprinkles Now!'s advantage is ratings volume (78 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
