Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MotiveNYC at none against Bond Touch's 6. MotiveNYC also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Bond Touch's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement 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. Bond Touch sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. MotiveNYC asks for nothing beyond the download.
MotiveNYC holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bond Touch has 18K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
