# Japan Airlines vs Priority Pass+

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.

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

Japan Airlines holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Japan Airlines has 20K ratings behind it against 1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 15% of Japan Airlines's written reviews are positive against 11% of Priority Pass+'s.

Japan Airlines ships an update every 3 weeks, Priority Pass+ fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 19, 2026.
