AVTECH proFLIGHT is a high-quality weather tool for professional flight crew. proFLIGHT uses the actual flight route and time combined with the Met Office's Global 10KM Weather model to produce a tailored weather forecast based on the most up to date information. Hazardous weather such as high-resolution turbulence, alerts such as SIGMETS, among more weather-related data is presented to the pilot both in a horizontal map view and a vertical flight-profile view. proFLIGHT also, based on your specific aircraft performance parameters, uses a patented algorithm to optimize the wind selection (winds to be used by the FMS) for climb- and descent phases. proFLIGHT can be used not only during flight but also during the planning phase. Using proFLIGHT assists the flight crew in the decision-making process to optimize the flight to become more efficient and safe.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AVTECH proFLIGHT at none against ForeFlight Mobile EFB's 18. AVTECH proFLIGHT also leads on iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). ForeFlight Mobile EFB's advantage is chart position (#18 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
