Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: OpenRice at 4.1 against TableCheck's 2.5. OpenRice also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (87 vs 8). TableCheck's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
