Verdict

The call

All Bar One and First Table both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 91% of First Table's written reviews are positive against 53% of All Bar One's. First Table also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (101 vs 6). All Bar One's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
