Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Gojek at 4.5 against Explorer.id's 3.0. Gojek also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). Explorer.id's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
