Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Grill'd at none against RibCrib's shown. Grill'd also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). RibCrib's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
