Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Parlon at 5.0 against Bistro BFF's 3.0. Parlon also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Bistro BFF's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Parlon holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bistro BFF has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Parlon ships an update fortnightly, Bistro BFF every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
