Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Wetherspoon at free against Gousto's subscription. Wetherspoon also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (11K vs 340). Gousto's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
