The clearest difference is update cadence: Denny's at weekly against The Barn Cafe's every 2 months. Denny's also leads on ratings volume (94K vs 21) and chart position (#74 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Denny's against 4.8 for The Barn Cafe. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Denny's has 94K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two.
