Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: FIVI at free against The MICHELIN Guide's free with in-app purchases. FIVI also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). The MICHELIN Guide's advantage is ratings volume (7.6K vs 1) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
