Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Affinity at 4.6 against expressPay's 4.1. Affinity also leads on review sentiment (96% vs 58%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). expressPay's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
