Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SeeFood at 100% against Bellybook's 66%. SeeFood also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.6). Bellybook's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (111 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
