# Go Vigilant vs FlightDeck

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Go Vigilant at 84% against FlightDeck's 18%. Go Vigilant also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). FlightDeck's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 36). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Go Vigilant sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month 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.

FlightDeck holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FlightDeck has 1.1K ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Go Vigilant's written reviews are positive against 18% of FlightDeck's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Go Vigilant ships an update every 2 weeks, FlightDeck every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
