Beli vs Mapstr: which restaurant app is right for you?
One turns eating out into a ranking. The other turns it into a map. They suit different people.

Choose Beli if
You eat out a lot, enjoy deciding what beats what, and your friends use it. Beli's feed and match scores only come alive with people you know on it.
Choose Mapstr if
You save places for a living, or it feels that way. Trips, cafés, shops. You want to tag them your way and see them on a map, without ranking anything.
What neither does
Neither one helps you once you've sat down and the menu is in a language you don't read, or full of dishes you don't know. That's the gap Glütty fills: it translates and explains the menu, and matches dishes to your own taste.
