Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Dippys at every 4 weeks against Shanghai Grill's every 3 months. Shanghai Grill's advantage is ratings volume (33 vs 3) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
