Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MSFS MAP NG at Free against Flightsim Checklists's $1.99. MSFS MAP NG also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Flightsim Checklists's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
