Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: PreFlight at every 2 weeks against Daybreak's every 3 months. PreFlight also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Daybreak's advantage is iOS requirement (17.5 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
