Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: myVerifone at 4.1 against CStore Essentials's 2.8. CStore Essentials's advantage is review sentiment (40% vs 0%) and ratings volume (68 vs 13). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

myVerifone holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CStore Essentials has 68 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of CStore Essentials's written reviews are positive against 0% of myVerifone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
