Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Westpac at 4.6 against ANZ Transactive's 2.7. Westpac also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (343 vs 7). ANZ Transactive'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.
