Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: PayBack at free against DebTra's free with in-app purchases. PayBack also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17). DebTra's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

DebTra holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PayBack has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
