Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: sweetgreen at none against OpenTable's shown. sweetgreen also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). OpenTable's advantage is review sentiment (74% vs 40%) and ratings volume (5.6M vs 176K). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for OpenTable against 4.9 for sweetgreen. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OpenTable has 5.6M ratings behind it against 176K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 74% of OpenTable's written reviews are positive against 40% of sweetgreen's.
