# FlightyFlow vs FlightSky

The clearest difference is rating: FlightSky at 4.6 against FlightyFlow's 3.5. FlightSky also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). FlightyFlow's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FlightyFlow sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and FlightSky sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FlightSky holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FlightSky has 2.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

FlightyFlow ships an update every 3 months, FlightSky fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
