Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: DrinkData at none against Risly's shown. DrinkData also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Risly's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
