Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: The Party Source at none against Destination Outlets's shown. The Party Source also leads on ratings volume (125 vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months). Destination Outlets's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Bugs and requests
The Party Source
Reported bugs
8 issues- App is egregiously slow, buggy, and lack of async makes it painful to use
- Lag is extremely extremely bad, like a 5 second hang delay where the app locks up because they aren't using async operations
- Issue when you want to remove items from your cart. If you swipe to delete it stays on this swiped action/delete for the items left in the cart until you fully exit/close the app and go back in.
- Tried to search my favorite cigar using the app and no products were found
- Needs an option to sort price high-low, low-high.
