Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Flite Test at 4.0 against Zeitview Pilot's 2.2. Flite Test also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 22%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Zeitview Pilot's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
