Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SkyTile at none against Flight Radar Tracker's 2. SkyTile also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). Flight Radar Tracker's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 16.4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
