Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FlightStats at none against Flight Notifications's 1. FlightStats also leads on ratings volume (79K vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Flight Notifications's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flight Notifications sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. FlightStats asks for nothing beyond the download.
Flight Notifications holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FlightStats has 79K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of FlightStats's written reviews are positive against 100% of Flight Notifications's.
FlightStats ships an update every 2 months, Flight Notifications every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
