Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GoPass at 4.8 against TechRide's 3.9. GoPass also leads on ratings volume (87K vs 10) and chart position (#114 vs unranked). TechRide's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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.
GoPass holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoPass has 87K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of GoPass's written reviews are positive against 50% of TechRide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
