Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CWM Roadmap at 100% against Pay Tel's 4%. CWM Roadmap also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). Pay Tel's advantage is ratings volume (126 vs 4) and chart position (#205 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
