# Cathay Pacific vs easyJet

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cathay Pacific at 70% against easyJet's 35%. Cathay Pacific also leads on device support (3 vs 1). easyJet's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

easyJet holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: easyJet has 60K ratings behind it against 2.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Cathay Pacific's written reviews are positive against 35% of easyJet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cathay Pacific ships an update fortnightly, easyJet every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
