TripAdvisor targets travelers, letting them view recommendations and write about places they’ve visited. That’s why TripAdvisor has only travel-related categories, including hotels, things to do, restaurants, and flights. On this app, you can find all of these categories but also educational and financial services, for example.
Zomato lets users rate and review places just like it does. But unlike this app, Zomato focuses exclusively on cafes and restaurants.
