Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: U at none against JetBlue's shown. U also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 18.0). JetBlue's advantage is ratings volume (1.5M vs 1) and chart position (#25 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
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 — 4.9 for JetBlue against 5.0 for U. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JetBlue has 1.5M ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
