Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sunoco at none against Gulf Pay's shown. Sunoco also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.6). Gulf Pay's advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 35%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.
