The call

The clearest difference is ads: Shopping Check Magic at none against Express Checkout's shown. Express Checkout's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
