Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Fiv RideShare at none against Exempt's shown. Fiv RideShare also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Exempt's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
