Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ChefBites at none against Pollo Tropical's shown. ChefBites also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Pollo Tropical's advantage is ratings volume (43K vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
