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 rating: PTS FlexPay at 5.0 against Empower Driver's 4.6. PTS FlexPay also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Empower Driver's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
