Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Land at 5.0 against C182 Performance's 4.3. Land also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). C182 Performance's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
