Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cathay Pacific at 70% against Fly Oneworld's 6%. Cathay Pacific also leads on rating (4.4 vs 2.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). Fly Oneworld's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
