Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: VRTX at 100% against Aircraft Engine's 25%. VRTX also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.1). Aircraft Engine's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 23) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
