Founded in 2007, in Denver, CO, the first Route โ66 opened with one single notion in mind; to serve a better burger and, in the process, helped create a new category. The every bite a better burger experience is known for their namesake smashing technique โ smashing a fresh, never frozen, 100% Certified Angus Beef hand-packed ball of meat on a hot seasoned grill โ delivering an elevated burger experience, where every bite is made to savor.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Koolny at none against Route 66.'s shown. Koolny also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months). Route 66.'s advantage is iOS requirement (13.6 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
