Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Aena at 4.4 against Iryo's 1.1. Aena also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (18% vs 0%). Iryo's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
