Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tap at 75% against Pollo Tropical's 19%. Tap also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Pollo Tropical's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (43K vs 20). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pollo Tropical holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pollo Tropical has 43K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Pollo Tropical's written reviews are positive against 75% of Tap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pollo Tropical ships an update every 6 weeks, Tap monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
