Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Eat at free with in-app purchases against Cofactor's subscription. Eat also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (3 vs 1). Cofactor's advantage is ratings volume (130 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
