Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flight Board at none against Flying Calmly's 10. Flight Board also leads on ratings volume (31K vs 826). Flying Calmly's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
