Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: APP at 5.0 against ParkByApp's 3.2. APP also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 9 months). ParkByApp's advantage is ratings volume (272 vs 3) and chart position (#206 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
