Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sakura Express at 100% against Sardi's's 39%. Sakura Express also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Sardi's's advantage is ratings volume (893 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
