Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FlightTime24 at 5.0 against FBOlink's 3.6. FlightTime24 also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). FBOlink's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
