Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sunwing at none against Air Transat's shown. Sunwing also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Air Transat's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (6.2K vs 198). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
