Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: BankFirst at free against My GBT's free with in-app purchases. BankFirst also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (4.6K vs 1.3K). My GBT's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 64%) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.4). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
