Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iGiveIt at 4.7 against Per Diem's 4.0. iGiveIt also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (46 vs 2). Per Diem's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 8 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
