Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Safe Range at none against FlightSky's 10. Safe Range also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). FlightSky's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#24 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
