Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Checkers Xtra at none against Dillons's shown. Checkers Xtra also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (33% vs 19%). Dillons's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (36K vs 299). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
