Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: The Donut Hub at none against Pollo Tropical's shown. The Donut Hub also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). Pollo Tropical's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
