Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: FloodPilot at every 4 days against FloodNotice's every 7 months. FloodPilot also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). FloodNotice's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
