Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WingBook at 5.0 against SimFly Pad's 4.7. SimFly Pad's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SimFly Pad sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and WingBook sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WingBook holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SimFly Pad has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
