# Night Flight Plus vs Neil Young Archives

The clearest difference is rating: Night Flight Plus at 4.6 against Neil Young Archives's 3.7. Night Flight Plus also leads on ratings volume (795 vs 209). Neil Young Archives's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (52% vs 43%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Night Flight Plus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Neil Young Archives sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Night Flight Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 795 and 209 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Night Flight Plus's written reviews are positive against 52% of Neil Young Archives's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Night Flight Plus ships an update every 3 weeks, Neil Young Archives fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
