Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Skyjet Explorer at Free against TapJets's $0.99. Skyjet Explorer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). TapJets's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (25 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
