Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mode Car at 50% against EZFare's 27%. Mode Car also leads on rating (3.0 vs 2.7) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). EZFare's advantage is ratings volume (87 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
