Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: OLIO at 73% against tastecard's 23%. OLIO also leads on rating (4.5 vs 1.0) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). tastecard's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
