Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Flighty at none against Schiphol's shown. Flighty also leads on ratings volume (161K vs 65) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Schiphol's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
