Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Rc Plane 2 at none against Nitro RC's shown. Rc Plane 2 also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rc Plane 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Nitro RC sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
