Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Buk at 100% against Yape's 20%. Buk also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Yape's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 55). 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.
Buk holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6.
