Verdict

The call

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