Verdict
EBTH and Local Eclectic both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 84% of Local Eclectic's written reviews are positive against 18% of EBTH's. EBTH's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
