Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pilot Beach Resort at none against Finnair's shown. Pilot Beach Resort also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Finnair's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 31 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
