Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Perk at 4.7 against Access Expense's 1.0. Perk also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 1). Access Expense's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
