Verdict
The clearest difference is price: TimeGlance at $0.99 against MSFS Companion's $3.99. TimeGlance also leads on chart position (#98 vs unranked). MSFS Companion's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 days). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
