Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CATA Mobile Pay at 100% against RideMMT's 50%. CATA Mobile Pay also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.0). RideMMT's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
