# Flight Tracker + vs FlySafe

Flight Tracker + and FlySafe both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 51% of Flight Tracker +'s written reviews are positive against 10% of FlySafe's. Flight Tracker + also leads on ratings volume (290K vs 652) and chart position (#9 vs #129). FlySafe's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flight Tracker + sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.79 per month and FlySafe sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Flight Tracker + against 4.7 for FlySafe. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flight Tracker + has 290K ratings behind it against 652, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 51% of Flight Tracker +'s written reviews are positive against 10% of FlySafe's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
