Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: iCave at none against Aerial Freedom's shown. iCave also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Aerial Freedom's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 64 months) and ratings volume (143 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iCave holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aerial Freedom has 143 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of iCave's written reviews are positive against 100% of Aerial Freedom's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iCave ships an update every 64 months, Aerial Freedom monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
