WHAT YOU CAN DO • Book a rider in seconds Set your pickup and drop-off — search for an address, or drop a pin on the map. Add the recipient's name and phone number, and any notes the rider needs ("use the back gate", "leave with the security guard"). Then send. • See the price before you commit No surprises and no haggling. Choose your vehicle, and we show you the exact fare in Ghana Cedis — with the distance and the time it should take — before you confirm anything.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GST Delivery at none against Explore Guangzhou's 1. GST Delivery also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
