Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: EI + at 4.6K against Tappy Pay's 1. EI + also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). Tappy Pay's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
