Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Taxi 13 at 60% against POPGuide's 14%. Taxi 13 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3). POPGuide's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (4K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
