# seats.aero vs Points Path

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Points Path at 56% against seats.aero's 13%. Points Path also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). seats.aero's advantage is ratings volume (5.9K vs 2) and chart position (#95 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. seats.aero sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $20.00 per month. Points Path asks for nothing beyond the download.

Points Path holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: seats.aero has 5.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
