Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Air Codes at Free against Flight parameters's $2.99. Air Codes also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). Flight parameters's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
