Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Zaxbys at none against FridgeCatalyst's 8. Zaxbys also leads on ratings volume (113K vs 1) and chart position (#61 vs unranked). FridgeCatalyst's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, ads, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
