Verdict
ManhattanNow and Platters both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Platters's written reviews are positive against 31% of ManhattanNow's. Platters also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). ManhattanNow's advantage is ratings volume (2.3K vs 2) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 11 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
