Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Wann at Free against FlightStatus's $4.99. Wann also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). FlightStatus's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Wann is free to download; FlightStatus costs $4.99 up front. Wann sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. FlightStatus asks for nothing beyond the download.
Wann holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Wann's written reviews are positive against 67% of FlightStatus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Wann ships an update every 2 weeks, FlightStatus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
