Verdict
CATCHTABLE and Mr.Menu both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Mr.Menu's written reviews are positive against 51% of CATCHTABLE's. Mr.Menu also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.7). CATCHTABLE's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
