Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Float Travis at 100% against AirNav FBO's 34%. Float Travis also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). AirNav FBO's advantage is price (Free vs $2.99) and ratings volume (33 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
