Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Abee Assistant at Free against Prepware Private Pilot's $9.99. Abee Assistant also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Prepware Private Pilot's advantage is chart position (#27 vs unranked) and device support. On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
