# SkyDemon vs EasyCockpit

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SkyDemon at 92% against EasyCockpit's 53%. SkyDemon also leads on ratings volume (549 vs 5). EasyCockpit's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SkyDemon sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. EasyCockpit asks for nothing beyond the download.

EasyCockpit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SkyDemon has 549 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of SkyDemon's written reviews are positive against 53% of EasyCockpit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SkyDemon ships an update monthly, EasyCockpit every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
