Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TAGgo at 100% against British Airways's 17%. TAGgo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and device support (3 vs 1). British Airways's advantage is ratings volume (275K vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
