Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Star Express Perks at 5.0 against Gabe's's 4.3. Star Express Perks also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Gabe's's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
