Verdict
Snackpass and Transact Mobile Ordering both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 93% of Transact Mobile Ordering's written reviews are positive against 26% of Snackpass's. Transact Mobile Ordering also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and chart position (#116 vs unranked). Snackpass's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
