Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SeatFlow at 5.0 against Seatsy's 3.9. Seatsy's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Seatsy sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and SeatFlow sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SeatFlow holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seatsy has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
