Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Edencabs at 100% against Faras's 20%. Edencabs also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.5). Faras's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
