Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: FlySafe at free with in-app purchases against FlightDeck's subscription. FlySafe also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). FlightDeck's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days) and chart position (#13 vs #188). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. FlySafe sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and FlightDeck sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
FlySafe holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 659 and 1.6K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of FlySafe's written reviews are positive against 19% of FlightDeck's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FlySafe ships an update every 9 days, FlightDeck every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
