Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PlanBite at 100% against Veggie Weekend's 55%. PlanBite also leads on price (Free vs $4.99) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). Veggie Weekend's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 14.0). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
