Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pilot Reach at free with in-app purchases against Vectored's subscription. Pilot Reach also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 67%) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). Vectored's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pilot Reach sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Vectored sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vectored holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pilot Reach has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Pilot Reach's written reviews are positive against 67% of Vectored's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pilot Reach ships an update every 3 days, Vectored every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
