Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mo'Bikes at 100% against Vancouver Bikes's 20%. Mo'Bikes also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Vancouver Bikes's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
