Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Air Pilot Challenge at 5.0 against Consoles's 3.4. Air Pilot Challenge also leads on price ($3.99 vs $7.99) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Consoles's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (39 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
