Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Oareo at Free against Wait Menu's $1.99. Oareo also leads on ratings volume (9 vs 1). Wait Menu's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). On rating, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
