Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: 5Cs Menu at 100% against 5C's 33%. 5Cs Menu also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (177 vs 4). 5C's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
