Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: LivryLink at 100% against ParkChicago®'s 36%. LivryLink also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). ParkChicago®'s advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 2) and iOS requirement (13 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

LivryLink holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.

Written reviews point the same way: 36% of ParkChicago®'s written reviews are positive against 100% of LivryLink's.
