Verdict

The call

BNG Mobile and FirstCCU both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of FirstCCU's written reviews are positive against 17% of BNG Mobile's. FirstCCU also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). BNG Mobile's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.4). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
