Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flight Notifications at 100% against Flight Tracker's 13%. Flight Notifications also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Flight Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 2) and chart position (#38 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
