Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: JetBlue at 4.9 against Allegiant's 2.8. JetBlue also leads on ratings volume (1.5M vs 8K) and review sentiment (20% vs 7%). Allegiant's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
