Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RE at 100% against Flash Studio's 58%. RE also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Flash Studio's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
