Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Chequered at 5.0 against AeroF1's 4.0. Chequered also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days). AeroF1's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
