Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flight Notifications at 100% against Flight Tracker +'s 51%. Flight Notifications also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Flight Tracker +'s advantage is ratings volume (291K vs 2) and chart position (#8 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
