Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OmniLogic at 4.7 against Flex's 3.0. OmniLogic also leads on ratings volume (8.8K vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Flex's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15.1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
