One shows only a few shops, often the ones that pay the most, the other shows the true number of different places in the area.

For my area it wouldn't really be possible, there's maybe 1 place that regularly has gluten free stuff, but the rest need real-time data pulled from their facebook or something because it changes daily/weekly what they offer.
