Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Stratostar at 5.0 against MyCCU's 3.3. Stratostar also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). MyCCU's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
