Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Drift Coffee & Kitchen at none against Summit Coffee's shown. Drift Coffee & Kitchen also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.1). Summit Coffee's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
