On paper the Frontier Airlines World Mastercard® comes out ahead: by realized value minus the annual fee, the JetBlue Plus Card nets +$1/yr and the Frontier Airlines World Mastercard® nets +$41/yr. Which is actually better depends on your spending and which perks you'll use.
Both have a $99 annual fee.
Neither includes airport lounge access.
