Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BridgePay at 2.3 against PlusPortals's 1.5. BridgePay also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). PlusPortals's advantage is ratings volume (152 vs 6) and review sentiment (9% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BridgePay holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PlusPortals has 152 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of BridgePay's written reviews are positive against 9% of PlusPortals's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
