# Flightview vs myFlights

The clearest difference is review sentiment: myFlights at 82% against Flightview's 21%. myFlights also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). Flightview's advantage is ratings volume (6.4K vs 13) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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 and myFlights sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

myFlights holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flightview has 6.4K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two.
