Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: J Passport at none against CapitaStar App's shown. J Passport also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). CapitaStar App's advantage is ratings volume (106 vs 18) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
J Passport holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CapitaStar App has 106 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of J Passport's written reviews are positive against 31% of CapitaStar App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
J Passport ships an update every 3 weeks, CapitaStar App monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
