Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PiGrill at none against Ride ID's 4. PiGrill also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16). Ride ID's advantage is ratings volume (44 vs 1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
