Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TopDishy at 5.0 against The Dinnerhub's 4.6. TopDishy also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17). The Dinnerhub's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
