Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ridwell at 73% against Flyer™'s 25%. Ridwell also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.2) and ratings volume (8.2K vs 6). Flyer™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
