Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Tepco Mobile at none against BECU's shown. Tepco Mobile also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). BECU's advantage is ratings volume (70K vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
