Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OpenTable at 4.9 against GrillPro's 3.0. OpenTable also leads on ratings volume (5.7M vs 4) and review sentiment (75% vs 50%). GrillPro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
