Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: myFlights at 82% against Flightview's 21%. myFlights also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). Flightview's advantage is ratings volume (6.4K vs 13) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
