# OnlyFlights vs Spot

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Spot at 89% against OnlyFlights's 74%. Spot also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days). OnlyFlights's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OnlyFlights sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Spot sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OnlyFlights holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of OnlyFlights's written reviews are positive against 89% of Spot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

OnlyFlights ships an update every 10 days, Spot every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
