# Flightview vs Flight Notifications

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flight Notifications at 100% against Flightview's 21%. Flight Notifications also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). Flightview's advantage is ratings volume (6.4K vs 2) and chart position (#60 vs unranked). 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 Flight Notifications sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flight Notifications holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flightview has 6.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 21% of Flightview's written reviews are positive against 100% of Flight Notifications's.
