Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Taco John's at none against Osby's 4. Taco John's also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (20K vs 1). Osby's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
