Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: McMullen’s Pubs at none against What Drink's 1. McMullen’s Pubs also leads on ads (none vs shown). What Drink's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
