Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hastee at 60% against Newpay's 17%. Newpay's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
