Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: LoungeKey at 17K against Dragonpass's 349. LoungeKey also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (22% vs 8%). Dragonpass's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
