NonRev is a term used by airlines to refer to non-revenue passengers, that is, passengers flying for free. This includes airline employees and their families, as well as buddy pass travelers and so on. Generally NonRevs travel standby and are given seats only after paid passengers are accounted for. NonRev app helps you plan your NonRev adventures by allowing you to search for flights and see an estimate of how good your chances are of getting a seat on any given flight.* NonRev app is subscription-based, however, even without a subscription you can search for flights between LAX, JFK, ATL, ORD, and LHR. *Due to technical factors, currently no NonRev status is available for Southwest Airlines.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NonRev at 4.5 against CrewZApp's 4.0. NonRev also leads on chart position (#200 vs unranked). CrewZApp's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (49% vs 33%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NonRev sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and CrewZApp sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NonRev holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 404 and 180 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of NonRev's written reviews are positive against 49% of CrewZApp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

NonRev ships an update every 3 months, CrewZApp every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
