# iFly EFB vs WingJockey

The clearest difference is ratings volume: iFly EFB at 365 against WingJockey's 5. iFly EFB also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). WingJockey's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
