Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Steak 'n Shake Rewards at none against Wingstop's shown. Steak 'n Shake Rewards also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Wingstop's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 46%) and ratings volume (1.4M vs 78K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support 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 — 4.9 for Wingstop against 4.8 for Steak 'n Shake Rewards. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wingstop has 1.4M ratings behind it against 78K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of Wingstop's written reviews are positive against 46% of Steak 'n Shake Rewards's.
Wingstop ships an update every 2 weeks, Steak 'n Shake Rewards every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
