# ANA vs JAL Lounge+

The clearest difference is rating: ANA at 4.7 against JAL Lounge+'s 1.7. ANA also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (8.8K vs 16). JAL Lounge+'s advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (14.3 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, 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.

ANA holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ANA has 8.8K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of ANA's written reviews are positive against 32% of JAL Lounge+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ANA ships an update fortnightly, JAL Lounge+ every 23 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
