Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: SimProcedures at Free against FS Map Tool's $4.99. SimProcedures also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). FS Map Tool's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
