Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Xcape Cafe at none against Shake Shack's shown. Xcape Cafe also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.0). Shake Shack's advantage is ratings volume (615K vs 7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
