# Plane Tracker Flight Aware vs PlanesFYI

The clearest difference is rating: Plane Tracker Flight Aware at 4.4 against PlanesFYI's 3.0. Plane Tracker Flight Aware also leads on ratings volume (30 vs 2) and chart position (#186 vs unranked). PlanesFYI's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Plane Tracker Flight Aware sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. PlanesFYI asks for nothing beyond the download.

Plane Tracker Flight Aware holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plane Tracker Flight Aware has 30 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of Plane Tracker Flight Aware's written reviews are positive against 100% of PlanesFYI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
