Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bibe User at 5.0 against The Bar Book's 3.9. Bibe User also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). The Bar Book's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
