Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Florida Tech Hub at Free against Prepware Private Pilot's $9.99. Florida Tech Hub also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.9). Prepware Private Pilot's advantage is ratings volume (137 vs 3) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 11 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
