Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Spring Airlines at 2.8 against 山东航空's 1.0. Spring Airlines also leads on ratings volume (19 vs 1) and review sentiment (64% vs 50%). 山东航空's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
