Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Restaurant365 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Restaurant365 has 44K ratings behind it against 894, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Jolt's written reviews are positive against 28% of Restaurant365's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Jolt ships an update every 3 weeks, Restaurant365 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
