Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pho 501 at none against Bareburger App's shown. Pho 501 also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Bareburger App's advantage is ratings volume (7.5K vs 11) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
