Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Munch at 100% against Restaurant.com's 10%. Munch also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). Restaurant.com's advantage is ratings volume (46K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Munch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4.

Restaurant.com ships an update every 2 months, Munch every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
