The call

Primera Plus and Volaris both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 51% of Primera Plus's written reviews are positive against 13% of Volaris's. Primera Plus also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Volaris's advantage is chart position (#66 vs unranked) and ratings volume (7.7K vs 2K). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
