Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Embargo Wallet at none against Riverford's shown. Embargo Wallet also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (148 vs 4). Riverford's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 39%) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
