Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lufthansa at 57% against FlyNet's 10%. Lufthansa also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (93K vs 1). FlyNet's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FlyNet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lufthansa has 93K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Lufthansa's written reviews are positive against 10% of FlyNet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lufthansa ships an update fortnightly, FlyNet every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 22, 2026 respectively.
