Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Red Bay holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Red Bay has 24 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Red Bay's written reviews are positive against 50% of Dining for Justice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Red Bay ships an update fortnightly, Dining for Justice every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
