# OpenTable vs Secondz

The clearest difference is ads: Secondz at none against OpenTable's shown. Secondz also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 75%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). OpenTable's advantage is ratings volume (5.7M vs 2) and chart position (#18 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence 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.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for OpenTable against 5.0 for Secondz. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OpenTable has 5.7M ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of OpenTable's written reviews are positive against 89% of Secondz's.

OpenTable ships an update every 10 days, Secondz fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
