Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: CTOT at free with in-app purchases against FlightBag's subscription. FlightBag's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 47%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
