# Chipotle vs Taco John's

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Chipotle at 1.8M against Taco John's's 16K. Chipotle also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#10 vs unranked). Taco John's's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

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 — 4.7 for Chipotle against 4.7 for Taco John's.
