Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The MICHELIN Guide at none against SplitBite's 1. The MICHELIN Guide also leads on ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#172 vs unranked). SplitBite's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
