Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Flight Agent at every 3 days against Sky Trace's every 8 days. Flight Agent also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Sky Trace's advantage is iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
