Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: South Block at 4.7 against Lunch Link Ordering's 2.9. South Block also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 9). Lunch Link Ordering's advantage is review sentiment (45% vs 36%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
South Block holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: South Block has 2.8K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of South Block's written reviews are positive against 45% of Lunch Link Ordering's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
