Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Azul at none against BlaBlaCar's shown. Azul also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). BlaBlaCar's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
