Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
