Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: OurRecipes at none against OpenTable's shown. OurRecipes also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). OpenTable's advantage is chart position (#20 vs unranked) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
