Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 5Cs Menu at 100% against The Tea App's 45%. 5Cs Menu also leads on price (Free vs $1.99) and rating (4.8 vs 4.2). The Tea App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#134 vs unranked). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
