Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Australian Immi App at none against Virgin Australia's shown. Australian Immi App also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 41%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Virgin Australia's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 241). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
