Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bootlegger Coffee Company at 4.8 against Dineplan's 3.1. Dineplan's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 49%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Bootlegger Coffee Company holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 35 and 77 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Dineplan's written reviews are positive against 49% of Bootlegger Coffee Company's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
