F18 Carrier Landing Lite's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 7.9K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

F18 Carrier Landing Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 29K and 7.9K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of F18 Carrier Landing Lite's written reviews are positive against 69% of Apache Pilot Flight Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
