Hey! Since you've done some research on ranks and costs, they're pretty comparable and you can easily make the final call based on other factors like safety, cost of living, weather, and overall quality of life at both places!
1) Cost of living- Rent Prices in Exeter are 6.23% lower than in York, Restaurant Prices in Exeter are 8.04% lower than in York and Consumer Prices Including Rent in Exeter are 7.96% lower than in York
2) Life- York has a busier life as compared to Exeter. according to reviews, there is always something going on in the busy streets of York and you may be involved in activities as such. Exeter however, is a quieter place even on the busiest of days.
3) Weather- York has seen more rainy days because it is in the Northern part so it would be colder and wetter, comparing with Exeter which is placed in the Southern part of England.
4) Size-Exeter is smaller than York thus quieter, but both unis have thriving student lives, but York's is potentially better.
5) Safety- Both are very safe cities, but if you'd wanna compare the two the York is slightly better!
6) Campus life- This is something you may have to look into yourself, go on YouTube and check out the campus, accommodation, lifestyle and pick what resonates with you!

Hi! I kinda like the overall vibe of University of York, and based on the reviews it seems like a livelier place with more going on than Exeter. You shouldn't go for my word though, what you can do it connect with alumni of these unis through LinkedIn or elsewhere and get some honest feedback!
