Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Air Premia at 4.5 against KORAIL+'s 2.5. Air Premia also leads on review sentiment (44% vs 11%) and ratings volume (216 vs 13). KORAIL+'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
