# Flight Tracker + vs Air Traffic

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Flight Tracker + at 290K against Air Traffic's 8. Flight Tracker + also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Air Traffic's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 51%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flight Tracker + sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.79 per month and Air Traffic sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flight Tracker + holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flight Tracker + has 290K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Flight Tracker +'s written reviews are positive against 75% of Air Traffic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Flight Tracker + ships an update weekly, Air Traffic every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
