Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ride285 at 100% against My Flexcar's 16%. Ride285 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and monetization model (free vs freemium). My Flexcar's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (990 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
