Verdict

The call

RibCrib and Big Whiskey's both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of RibCrib's written reviews are positive against 36% of Big Whiskey's's. RibCrib also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 1.2K). Big Whiskey's's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
