Verdict

The call

LettuceEats and Brinde both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Brinde's written reviews are positive against 59% of LettuceEats's. Brinde also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). LettuceEats's advantage is ratings volume (21K vs 5). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
