Flighter keeps your boarding passes, live flight information, airport details, and personal travel history organized in one place. Import a boarding pass by scanning its barcode, choosing a photo or screenshot, opening a PDF, or using the Share Extension. You can also add flights manually to your personal flight journal. Follow a flight even without a boarding pass: enter its number and departure date to see it on your Home screen and receive notifications about changes. Share a flight from a valid boarding pass with friends and family. They can open your link in Flighter and follow the flight without Premium. Your boarding pass and passenger details are not shared. Flighter features: • Boarding pass storage and quick presentation. • Boarding pass import using the camera, photos, PDFs, and the Share Extension. • Flight tracking by flight number and departure date, without a boarding pass. • Flight sharing through links that open in Flighter. • Flight details including route, date, departure time, seat, terminal, gate, and baggage belt, when available. • Notifications about important flight changes. • Live Activities for active flights with a boarding pass available for presentation, on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. • Airport information, weather, and local time. • Airport delay and cancellation information. • Aircraft information when available. • Personal flight history, route maps, and travel statistics. • iCloud synchronization of your flight history. • Flighter history import and export. Tracked flights remain separate from your personal flight history and do not create Live Activities. After the trial period, adding flights for tracking yourself, sharing flights, and certain other features require Flighter Premium. Flights received through a shared link can be tracked without Premium. The availability and timing of flight, airport, weather, aircraft, terminal, gate, and baggage information depend on airlines, airports, and external data providers. Flighter is not an official app of any airline, airport, or aviation data provider. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Flighter at fortnightly against Tube Info's every 4 months. Tube Info's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.2). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
