# Flight Calcs vs Pilot Wingman

The clearest difference is monetization model: Flight Calcs at free against Pilot Wingman's freemium. Pilot Wingman's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flight Calcs sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Pilot Wingman sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Flight Calcs against 5.0 for Pilot Wingman.
