Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AirTurn Manager at 4.2 against AIRSTEP's 3.1. AirTurn Manager also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 11). AIRSTEP's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 16%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AirTurn Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AirTurn Manager has 1.3K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of AirTurn Manager's written reviews are positive against 29% of AIRSTEP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
