Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Skyss at 67% against Widerøe's 40%. Skyss also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (63 vs 11). Widerøe's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Widerøe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skyss has 63 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Skyss's written reviews are positive against 40% of Widerøe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Skyss ships an update weekly, Widerøe every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
