On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

MasterRemit holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 18 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Open World Remit's written reviews are positive against 53% of MasterRemit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
