Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: expressPay at 4.1 against Korba's 3.0. expressPay also leads on ratings volume (114 vs 2). Korba's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 58%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

expressPay holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: expressPay has 114 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of expressPay's written reviews are positive against 100% of Korba's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

expressPay ships an update every 5 months, Korba every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
