Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Flight Mate at Free against Flight Mode Map's $4.99. Flight Mate also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.5). Flight Mode Map's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#128 vs unranked). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
