Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Vilkku at 5.0 against Finnair's 4.2. Vilkku also leads on ads (none vs shown). Finnair's advantage is ratings volume (497 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
