Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Flight Radar at freemium against Flight Tracker ++'s subscription. Flight Radar also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Flight Tracker ++'s advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
