Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pizza Nerd at none against 86proof's 2. Pizza Nerd also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). 86proof's advantage is chart position (#195 vs unranked) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
