SDK Bridge is a developer tool that provides a bridge to connect an under development app running in the iOS simulator to a DJI product's remote controller. It's the missing link for a better workflow to create or debug your DJI Mobile SDK based apps. To use: 1/ Connect an Apple device to your remote controller 2/ Launch SDK Bridge 3/ Note the IP Address 4/ Transfer it to the parameter of the enableBridgeModeWithBridgeAppIP: method in DJISDKManager From then, your app behaves just like if it was connected directly to the physical remote controller.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dronelink Flight at 4.7 against SDK Bridge's 3.7.

SDK Bridge's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and iOS requirement (10.2 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
