Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: OzRunways EFB at none against Beyond EFB's shown. OzRunways EFB also leads on ratings volume (145 vs 3). Beyond EFB's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. OzRunways EFB sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Beyond EFB sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Beyond EFB holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OzRunways EFB has 145 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of OzRunways EFB's written reviews are positive against 69% of Beyond EFB's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
