Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Rail Runner at 2.5 against Priority Pass+'s 1.5. Rail Runner also leads on review sentiment (29% vs 11%). Priority Pass+'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
