Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FlightStats at none against GeoTrakR's 3. FlightStats also leads on ratings volume (80K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). GeoTrakR's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.1 vs 12.0). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GeoTrakR sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. FlightStats asks for nothing beyond the download.
GeoTrakR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FlightStats has 80K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
FlightStats ships an update every 2 months, GeoTrakR every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
