Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Exchange Rate Express at Free against Stash's $5.99. Exchange Rate Express also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (100% vs 62%). Stash's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 3) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
