Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: H145 Flight Perfo at 100% against WingX®'s 47%. H145 Flight Perfo also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). WingX®'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 33 months) and chart position (#180 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
