Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CheckHero at 100% against Windmill Air's 28%. CheckHero also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Windmill Air's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ratings volume (6.2K vs 15). On price, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
