Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Star Alliance at Free against Air Miles Calculator's $0.99. Star Alliance also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (80 vs 1). Air Miles Calculator's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 13%) and ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Star Alliance is free to download; Air Miles Calculator costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Star Alliance holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Star Alliance has 80 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Star Alliance's written reviews are positive against 50% of Air Miles Calculator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Star Alliance ships an update every 2 months, Air Miles Calculator every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
