Verdict
The clearest difference is price: skyBRIEF at Free against Flight night time's $2.99. skyBRIEF also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Flight night time's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 17.0). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
