Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CATS at 53% against My Flexcar's 16%. CATS also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). My Flexcar's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
