Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dinnerbox at none against DJOL's 2. Dinnerbox also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (36 vs 1). DJOL's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
