Verdict
Rotolo's and Cafe U both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Cafe U's written reviews are positive against 42% of Rotolo's's. Cafe U also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Rotolo's's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 84). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
