PointsRadar tracks Virgin Atlantic reward flight availability and tells you the moment the points price drops. Search reward availability across the route network, browse a whole month at a glance, and set alerts that watch for the seats you actually want. SEARCH • Start from what you know — your dates, your destination, or how many points you have • One-way, return and multi-city reward availability • "Best trip for my points" ranks whole trips inside a budget you set, for the number of people going, with a trip length you can flex • See every cabin option to each destination, mixed cabins included, with how many dates fit your points and the cheapest of them • Filter by cabin, date range, maximum points and saver fares • Compare Economy, Premium and Upper Class side by side • Every result comes with the details to quote and a one-tap call to reservations CALENDAR • A month view showing the cheapest points price on every date, cabin by cabin • The cheapest days of the month are highlighted, with chips that jump straight to them • "Out & return" flips the month between legs, so you can pick a day each way and see both together with the return total • Tap a date to see every cabin and what each one costs • Your saved holidays are marked across the calendar, including the flexible days either side DESTINATIONS • Browse where your points can actually reach, filtered by what you have • A page for each destination: which UK airports fly there, and the cheapest seat in every cabin • "Lowest points right now" — a live board of the cheapest seat to everywhere, or up to twenty dates in every cabin for one place ALERTS • Watch a single route and get told when it drops below your points limit • Holiday alerts watch an entire trip: one departure airport, up to 25 destinations and flexible dates, capped by one maximum for the whole return trip or by a separate limit for each cabin in each direction • Mixed-cabin trips — Premium out, Upper Class back — can be included or left out • Tap a triggered alert to see every seat it found, filter by destination and cabin, and sort by cheapest or earliest Light and dark appearance, following your phone or your choice.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: PointsRadar at every 6 days against Arrow Taxis's every 3 months. Arrow Taxis's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
