The call

The clearest difference is rating: CATCHTABLE at 4.9 against 楽天ぐるなび's 4.2. CATCHTABLE also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (51% vs 23%). 楽天ぐるなび's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
