Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Open Squash at none against CityPickle's shown. Open Squash also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). CityPickle's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (449 vs 26). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
