Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FlareFinder at Free against Astronomy Pro's $3.99. FlareFinder also leads on ratings volume (28 vs 1) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.0). Astronomy Pro's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 2.1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
