Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: FlightAware Flight Tracker at 74% against Travel Map's 32%. FlightAware Flight Tracker also leads on ratings volume (382K vs 412) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Travel Map's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
