Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Aurora Borealis Tours at 100% against LoungeKey's 21%. Aurora Borealis Tours also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). LoungeKey's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
LoungeKey holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LoungeKey has 18K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of LoungeKey's written reviews are positive against 100% of Aurora Borealis Tours's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LoungeKey ships an update fortnightly, Aurora Borealis Tours every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
