Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FlightStats at Free against Fire Island App's $0.99. FlightStats also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.6) and review sentiment (73% vs 33%). Fire Island App's advantage is chart position (#103 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
