# Pilot Reach vs Vectored

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.

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.

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