Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Routebook at 100% against LAX FlyAway's 16%. Routebook also leads on rating (4.0 vs 2.1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). LAX FlyAway's advantage is ratings volume (70 vs 7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
