Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ING Netherlands at 4.8 against PAY.APP's 4.0. ING Netherlands also leads on ratings volume (4.9K vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). PAY.APP's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
