# Aviation Exam vs FlightBoss

The clearest difference is rating: Aviation Exam at 4.8 against FlightBoss's 3.8. Aviation Exam also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 50%) and ratings volume (497 vs 10). FlightBoss's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Aviation Exam sells 30 one-off in-app purchases and FlightBoss sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Aviation Exam holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aviation Exam has 497 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of Aviation Exam's written reviews are positive against 50% of FlightBoss's.

Aviation Exam ships an update every 2 months, FlightBoss every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
