# iFly EFB vs WeGlide Copilot

The clearest difference is ratings volume: iFly EFB at 353 against WeGlide Copilot's 1. iFly EFB also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). WeGlide Copilot's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iFly EFB sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and WeGlide Copilot sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $149.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WeGlide Copilot holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iFly EFB has 353 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

iFly EFB ships an update every 3 weeks, WeGlide Copilot every 5 days. Both last shipped on September 29, 2026.
