Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DiningCity at none against Chope's shown. DiningCity also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Chope's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 33) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Chope holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chope has 2.1K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of Chope's written reviews are positive against 41% of DiningCity's.
Chope ships an update monthly, DiningCity every 5 days. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
