We started Empower to empower drivers who can’t make a sustainable living under the current rideshare model and to provide an alternative for passengers who want the convenience provided by on-demand transportation platforms, but prefer to support drivers, not the companies exploiting them. By removing the giant corporate middleman, Empower is able to do that, while enabling passengers to obtain less expensive and more customized transportation directly from drivers.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Empower Driver at 2.8K against INTERNATIONAL DRIVER's 7. Empower Driver also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#123 vs unranked). INTERNATIONAL DRIVER's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
