Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BECU at 60% against WSECU's 13%. BECU also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (70K vs 2.2K). WSECU's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
