Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Experience NYC at none against NYC Finder's shown. Experience NYC also leads on ratings volume (46 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). NYC Finder's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
