Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iCornèr at 4.8 against Green Dot's 3.5. iCornèr also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 8%). Green Dot's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 8) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
