Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: radarQuery at 100% against SkyTrack | Live Flight Tracker's 31%. radarQuery also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). SkyTrack | Live Flight Tracker's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SkyTrack | Live Flight Tracker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and radarQuery sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SkyTrack | Live Flight Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SkyTrack | Live Flight Tracker has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of SkyTrack | Live Flight Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of radarQuery's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SkyTrack | Live Flight Tracker ships an update monthly, radarQuery every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
