Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pho Café at none against Shanghai Grill's shown. Pho Café also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Shanghai Grill's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
