Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BDO Pay at 4.8 against GSIS Touch's 3.4. BDO Pay also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 17) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). GSIS Touch's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
