Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Panda eSIM at Free against Stash's $5.99. Panda eSIM also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). Stash's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and chart position (#4 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
