Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: KulaRides at 5.0 against Curb Driver's 3.7. KulaRides also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Curb Driver's advantage is ratings volume (289 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
