Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ORI Assistant at none against FlightStats's shown. ORI Assistant also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). FlightStats's advantage is ratings volume (79K vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
