Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Flight Board at Free against Amsterdam's $2.99. Flight Board also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Amsterdam's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
