# RFS vs Flight 737

The clearest difference is rating: RFS at 4.6 against Flight 737's 3.3. RFS also leads on ratings volume (24K vs 6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Flight 737's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On review sentiment, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

RFS costs $0.99 and Flight 737 $4.99 up front. RFS sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Flight 737 asks for nothing beyond the download.

RFS holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RFS has 24K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of RFS's written reviews are positive against 75% of Flight 737's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

RFS ships an update every 3 weeks, Flight 737 every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
