Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ResX at 4.8 against Snag Reservations's 3.8. ResX also leads on ratings volume (754 vs 20) and review sentiment (73% vs 63%). Snag Reservations's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
