Verdict
Del Taco and SQUID Rewards both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 71% of SQUID Rewards's written reviews are positive against 9% of Del Taco's. SQUID Rewards also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Del Taco's advantage is ratings volume (43K vs 43) and chart position (#139 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
