# Sky vs FlyQ+ EFB

The clearest difference is rating: FlyQ+ EFB at 4.1 against Sky's 3.0. FlyQ+ EFB also leads on ratings volume (892 vs 1). Sky's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 72%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sky sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and FlyQ+ EFB sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FlyQ+ EFB holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FlyQ+ EFB has 892 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Sky's written reviews are positive against 72% of FlyQ+ EFB's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sky ships an update monthly, FlyQ+ EFB every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
