Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Ryanair at 90K against ITA Airways's 1.8K. Ryanair also leads on chart position (#142 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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 — 4.4 for Ryanair against 4.5 for ITA Airways. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ryanair has 90K ratings behind it against 1.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 17% of Ryanair's written reviews are positive against 9% of ITA Airways's.
Ryanair ships an update weekly, ITA Airways every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
