Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: KLM at 4.8 against Instapark's 4.3. KLM also leads on ratings volume (53K vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Instapark's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
