Holy Cannoli! The NEW Carrabba’s App is now available across all participating Carrabba’s locations. The Carrabba’s App has so many sweet benefits: delicious rewards, waitlist features that get you seated faster, RSVP to monthly wine dinners, online ordering, up-to-date menus, and so much more! -- The Carrabba's App uses data encryption to protect your financial information and card data is never stored on Carrabba’s Italian Grill servers. The Carrabba's App also uses GPS to enhance the user experience by prompting you to check in when you arrive at the restaurant. Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Espresso Gallery at free against Carrabba's's free with in-app purchases. Carrabba's's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 3) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Carrabba's against 5.0 for Espresso Gallery. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Carrabba's has 11K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
