Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: GrabTheTab at free with in-app purchases against Dishly's subscription. GrabTheTab also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). Dishly's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.
