Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Platō Coffee at 5.0 against Dinnerbox's 4.7. Platō Coffee also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). Dinnerbox's advantage is ratings volume (36 vs 4) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
