Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Dinner Light at Free against Compatible's $1.99. Dinner Light also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months). Compatible's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
