Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My TELUS at 4.2 against Hydro One Mobile's 3.0. My TELUS also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (372 vs 4). Hydro One Mobile's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
