Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Resy at 768K against Tock's 9.7K. Resy also leads on review sentiment (43% vs 25%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks). Tock's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
