Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Downtown Anderson at none against Lyft's shown. Downtown Anderson also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Lyft's advantage is chart position (#3 vs unranked). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
