Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fast Exchange Rate at 64% against TodayRate's 0%. Fast Exchange Rate also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (12 vs 1). TodayRate's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
