PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING THIS APP: This is an augmented reality app. Do NOT purchase this app if you cannot launch the experience in a well lit environment, or if you do NOT have an iPhone 14 or newer.

The clearest difference is device support: AR Helicopter Training at 3 against PilotCheck's 1. AR Helicopter Training also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
