Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FreeFlight 1.0 at none against MOCPilot's 10. FreeFlight 1.0 also leads on rating (3.4 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (27 vs 2). MOCPilot's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 11 months) and review sentiment (30% vs 15%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MOCPilot sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. FreeFlight 1.0 asks for nothing beyond the download.
FreeFlight 1.0 holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FreeFlight 1.0 has 27 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of FreeFlight 1.0's written reviews are positive against 30% of MOCPilot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FreeFlight 1.0 ships an update every 11 months, MOCPilot every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
