Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Star Alliance at 4.8 against FlyNet's 3.0. Star Alliance also leads on ratings volume (82 vs 2). FlyNet's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
