Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Satellite Tracker Pro at none against SkyFi App's 5. Satellite Tracker Pro also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 57%). SkyFi App's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SkyFi App holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 67 and 102 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Satellite Tracker Pro's written reviews are positive against 57% of SkyFi App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Satellite Tracker Pro ships an update every 11 months, SkyFi App fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
