Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: AEB at 4.9 against ABS Pay's 3.0. AEB also leads on ratings volume (246 vs 2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). ABS Pay's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
