Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Slate Aviation at 3.2 against BBC Rides's 1.0. Slate Aviation also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). BBC Rides's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
