The clearest difference is ads: Subway® at none against Hardee's Mobile Ordering's shown. Subway® also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (1.2M vs 157K). Hardee's Mobile Ordering's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 17%) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
