Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flight Sim Deck at none against SimProcedures's 7. Flight Sim Deck also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). SimProcedures's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
