Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Campus Menu at none against OpenTable's shown. Campus Menu also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). OpenTable's advantage is ratings volume (5.7M vs 5) and chart position (#28 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
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 Campus Menu. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OpenTable has 5.7M ratings behind it against 5, 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 100% of Campus Menu's.
