# PSTAR Plus vs Flightdeck Training Suite

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PSTAR Plus at 80% against Flightdeck Training Suite's 54%. PSTAR Plus also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0). Flightdeck Training Suite's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PSTAR Plus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Flightdeck Training Suite sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
