The call

The clearest difference is rating: Amazon Store Card at 4.7 against AirKey's 2.3. Amazon Store Card also leads on ratings volume (131K vs 89) and review sentiment (41% vs 30%). AirKey's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
