Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Park Explore at 5.0 against Social Bicycles's 4.4. Park Explore also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 weeks). Social Bicycles's advantage is ratings volume (6.8K vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
