Verdict
The clearest difference is price: OpenKey at Free against TravelLingo7's $0.99. OpenKey also leads on ratings volume (3.1K vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). TravelLingo7's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
