# Priority Pass™ vs LoungeKey

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Priority Pass™ at 497K against LoungeKey's 17K. Priority Pass™ also leads on chart position (#106 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Priority Pass™ against 4.8 for LoungeKey. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Priority Pass™ has 497K ratings behind it against 17K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 25% of Priority Pass™'s written reviews are positive against 22% of LoungeKey's.
