Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Japan Airlines at 4.6 against Fly Oneworld's 2.0. Japan Airlines also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 42) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Fly Oneworld's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
