Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: PayTrace Go at 4.9 against iProcess's 3.0. PayTrace Go also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 49%) and ratings volume (744 vs 29). iProcess's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
