HOW SHAREY WORKS 1. Visit local restaurants that we partner with and take pictures of the food or drinks you order through the Sharey app (Only in NYC currently) 2. Earn points for each tag you add that describes the photo 3. Multiply your points by taking high-quality pictures that get selected to be on the menu, or by sharing the picture on your Instagram story and tagging the restaurant, based on availability 4. Redeem points for gift cards to your favorite retailers EXPLORE BY FINDING DISHES Explore the local restaurants that we partner with on our map, and view information on their individual storefronts, including operating hours, phone number, directions, reservations, website, and their Instagram. Filter through restaurants per cuisines or dietary filters (Gluten-free, Vegetarian, Vegan, Organic, or Spicy) to find the right options for you! BOOSTING AUTHENTICITY Sharey has NO reviews because we believe authentic pictures speak a thousand words and accurately reflect the hard work of our local restaurant partners. We work with local and independent restaurants to give them opportunities to compete against the bigger chains by engaging with the Sharey community and boosting their business. Support your local businesses with Sharey! GAMIFIED REWARDS You can earn multipliers for taking good pictures that get featured on the menu or for sharing the picture to your Instagram story. We’ll be adding more multipliers over time! Sharey randomizes rewards drops throughout the month, ensuring fairness for our restaurant partners and users. You can use the center capture button to submit pictures of restaurants you wish were on the platform, and we’ll reach out to them to add them to the Sharey community. Join us on our mission to make the dining experience more informative and rewarding! EARLY LIMITS Sharey is currently in beta, and to ensure high-quality content and fairness across restaurants, we’ve set submission limits that may appear while using the app. These limits help us maintain content quality, prevent spam, and ensure rewards are distributed fairly as we grow. Limits may be adjusted as the platform expands.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sharey at none against ResX's 8. Sharey also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). ResX's advantage is ratings volume (609 vs 2) and chart position (#13 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
