Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MissionCall at none against ForeFlight Mobile EFB's 18. MissionCall also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). ForeFlight Mobile EFB's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#10 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
