# AirNav Radar vs Fleetlog

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.

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.

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