# Flight Tracker vs Flight Notifications

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flight Notifications at 100% against Flight Tracker's 12%. Flight Notifications also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Flight Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 2) and chart position (#42 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flight Tracker sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Flight Notifications sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flight Notifications holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flight Tracker has 1.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 12% of Flight Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Flight Notifications's.

Flight Tracker ships an update every 8 days, Flight Notifications every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
