Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Restaurant365 at 4.8 against ExpandShare's 4.2. Restaurant365 also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (44K vs 56). ExpandShare's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 27%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Restaurant365 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Restaurant365 has 44K ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of ExpandShare's written reviews are positive against 27% of Restaurant365's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ExpandShare ships an update every 3 months, Restaurant365 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
