Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: A bank at 80% against CB Pay's 22%. A bank also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.7). CB Pay's advantage is ratings volume (527 vs 22) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 9 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
