Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Transavia at 4.9 against Ryanair's 4.5. Transavia also leads on review sentiment (35% vs 17%). Ryanair's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (85K vs 4.2K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Transavia holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ryanair has 85K ratings behind it against 4.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 17% of Ryanair's written reviews are positive against 35% of Transavia's.
