Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: B at 5.0 against Rides on Demand's 2.0. B also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Rides on Demand's advantage is ratings volume (27 vs 2) and review sentiment (26% vs 18%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
B holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rides on Demand has 27 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of B's written reviews are positive against 26% of Rides on Demand's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
B ships an update every 4 months, Rides on Demand every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
