Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Firefly Airlines at 4.6 against MyRapid PULSE's 1.8. Firefly Airlines also leads on ratings volume (114 vs 10). MyRapid PULSE's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 20%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Firefly Airlines holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Firefly Airlines has 114 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Firefly Airlines's written reviews are positive against 50% of MyRapid PULSE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Firefly Airlines ships an update every 2 weeks, MyRapid PULSE fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
