Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Menu This AI at 100% against View Menu's 6%. Menu This AI also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.1) and monetization model (free vs subscription). View Menu's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (30 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
