Verdict
Chip City and Personal Cafe both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Personal Cafe's written reviews are positive against 71% of Chip City's. Chip City's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
