Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Beyond EFB at 5.0 against AeroChart's 4.4. Beyond EFB also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). AeroChart's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (56 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AeroChart sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Beyond EFB sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Beyond EFB holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AeroChart has 56 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of AeroChart's written reviews are positive against 69% of Beyond EFB's.
AeroChart ships an update every 2 months, Beyond EFB weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
