Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Air Navigation Pro at 4.6 against FltPlan Go for iPhone's 4.0.

FltPlan Go for iPhone's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
