Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Japan Airlines at 4.6 against Priority Pass+'s 1.5. Japan Airlines also leads on ratings volume (20K vs 1K). Priority Pass+'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
