Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Canabee at 100% against View Menu's 6%. Canabee also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 days). View Menu's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
