Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: EK Crew Rest at free with in-app purchases against Flight's subscription. EK Crew Rest also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Flight's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
