Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Flash Studio at 4.8 against Afinia Studio's 3.3. Flash Studio also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (4.2K vs 4). Afinia Studio's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
