Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Courier Guy at 2.0 against Mweb's 1.1. Courier Guy also leads on ads (none vs shown). Mweb's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
