Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: OnePay at every 6 days against Apple Wallet's every 3 months. OnePay also leads on chart position (#9 vs unranked). Apple Wallet's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (7.5M vs 483K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
