Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BDO Pay at 4.8 against My CBC App's 3.4. BDO Pay also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 17). My CBC App's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BDO Pay holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BDO Pay has 1.2K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of BDO Pay's written reviews are positive against 33% of My CBC App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BDO Pay ships an update monthly, My CBC App every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
