Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Virgin Atlantic at none against andBeyond's shown. Virgin Atlantic also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and chart position (#127 vs unranked). andBeyond's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
