Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Inflight Score at none against FlightDeck's 6. Inflight Score also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 18%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). FlightDeck's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 11) and chart position (#43 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
