Verdict

The call

ING Netherlands and Basecone both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 60% of ING Netherlands's written reviews are positive against 33% of Basecone's. ING Netherlands also leads on ratings volume (4.9K vs 45) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Basecone's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
