Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MetroNow! On Demand at 2.9 against OHGO's 2.3. MetroNow! On Demand also leads on review sentiment (29% vs 13%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). OHGO's advantage is ratings volume (251 vs 16) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
