# Virgin Australia vs Australian Immi App

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.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Virgin Australia against 4.9 for Australian Immi App. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Virgin Australia has 1.5K ratings behind it against 241, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 41% of Virgin Australia's written reviews are positive against 69% of Australian Immi App's.

Virgin Australia ships an update fortnightly, Australian Immi App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
