Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sunwing at 36% against Chipmunk's 9%. Sunwing also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.0). Chipmunk's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 198). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
