Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: AirNav Radar at 4.7 against Fleetlog's 3.2. AirNav Radar also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 11). Fleetlog's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (58% vs 50%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AirNav Radar sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Fleetlog sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AirNav Radar holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AirNav Radar has 1.3K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of AirNav Radar's written reviews are positive against 58% of Fleetlog's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AirNav Radar ships an update every 9 days, Fleetlog monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
