Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
UAE PASS holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UAE PASS has 416 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of UAE PASS's written reviews are positive against 12% of GDRFA Establishment's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and July 22, 2026 respectively.
