Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: PayAsap at 100% against FirstMobile App's 15%. PayAsap also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.1) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). FirstMobile App's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
