Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Aeropedia at Free against Aircraft's $1.99. Aeropedia also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Aircraft's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
