Verdict
Resy and Blank Street both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 78% of Blank Street's written reviews are positive against 43% of Resy's. Blank Street also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). Resy's advantage is ratings volume (808K vs 11K) and chart position (#52 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
