Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bistro BFF at 3.0 against Bench Lifestyle's 1.0. Bistro BFF also leads on review sentiment (30% vs 8%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). Bench Lifestyle's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
