# Air Navigation Pro vs EasyCockpit

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EasyCockpit at none against Air Navigation Pro's 15. EasyCockpit also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Air Navigation Pro's advantage is ratings volume (636 vs 5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Air Navigation Pro sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $69.99 per year. EasyCockpit asks for nothing beyond the download.

EasyCockpit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Air Navigation Pro has 636 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Air Navigation Pro's written reviews are positive against 53% of EasyCockpit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Air Navigation Pro ships an update every 3 weeks, EasyCockpit every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
