Verdict
Subway® and Picky Eats both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Picky Eats's written reviews are positive against 17% of Subway®'s. Picky Eats also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Subway®'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (1.2M vs 3). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
