Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Drink Harbor Coffee at none against RibCrib's shown. Drink Harbor Coffee also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). RibCrib's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 26). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
