Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BCRemit at 5.0 against Open World Remit's 4.0. Open World Remit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BCRemit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of BCRemit's written reviews are positive against 100% of Open World Remit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
