Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NDC Mobile at 2.6 against Ascend Loans's 1.7. NDC Mobile also leads on review sentiment (25% vs 5%) and iOS requirement (11.4 vs 15.1). Ascend Loans's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (30 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
