Verdict
The clearest difference is price: AlbertaRELM at Free against FlyFinder™'s $5.99. AlbertaRELM also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). FlyFinder™'s advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
