The clearest difference is ads: SNB Mobile at none against Mobily Pay's shown. SNB Mobile also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (59K vs 3.6K). Mobily Pay's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
