Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Del Taco at 4.7 against Elephant Grounds's 3.7. Del Taco also leads on ratings volume (43K vs 3) and chart position (#125 vs unranked). Elephant Grounds's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 10%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Del Taco holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Del Taco has 43K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of Del Taco's written reviews are positive against 50% of Elephant Grounds's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Del Taco ships an update every 5 weeks, Elephant Grounds every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
