Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Just Salad at 17K against PlateRate's 1. Just Salad also leads on chart position (#168 vs unranked). PlateRate's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
