Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LEGO® Boost at 66% against FreeFlight 3's 16%. LEGO® Boost also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.8) and ratings volume (4.3K vs 89). FreeFlight 3's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
