Verdict
Resy and Blank Street both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of Blank Street's written reviews are positive against 43% of Resy's. Blank Street also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15 vs 18.0). Resy's advantage is ratings volume (768K vs 11K) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
