The clearest difference is review sentiment: Viva Chefs at 100% against Curry Up Now's 46%. Viva Chefs also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Curry Up Now's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 24). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
