Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Om Nom at 4.4 against Pac.io's 4.2. Om Nom also leads on ratings volume (4K vs 297). Pac.io's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
