# Flightview vs AeroCloud

The clearest difference is rating: Flightview at 3.6 against AeroCloud's 1.8. Flightview also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (6.4K vs 5). AeroCloud's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flightview sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. AeroCloud asks for nothing beyond the download.

Flightview holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flightview has 6.4K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Flightview's written reviews are positive against 33% of AeroCloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Flightview ships an update every 3 weeks, AeroCloud every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on November 15, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
