The clearest difference is rating: Dronelink Flight at 4.7 against Emlid Flow's 3.9. Dronelink Flight also leads on ratings volume (565 vs 36). Emlid Flow's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dronelink Flight sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per month and Emlid Flow sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $24.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
