Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FOODING® at 4.7 against Pintxos's 2.0. FOODING® also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (71% vs 41%). Pintxos's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
