FlightCue

FlightCue is the flight tracker that keeps the flight you care about with you: your own, one you're meeting, or the plane overhead. TRACK ANY FLIGHT Search by flight number, route, airline or airport, or tap a plane on the live flight radar. Track it and it moves to My Flights with live status: gate and terminal, boarding, departure, delays, landing and baggage claim. Alerts arrive as things change, the flight stays on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island until touchdown, and your Apple Watch shows gate, countdown and status. KNOW THE RIDE Every tracked flight has a Turbulence tab. FlightCue reads the wind, storms and pilot reports along the route and tells you plainly: smooth the whole way, a few gentle bumps, or keep your seatbelt fastened. It shows where the bumpiest stretch is and when it comes ("around 1 h 40 min after takeoff"), why, whether the wind may get you in early or late, recent pilot reports nearby, and crosswind and visibility at both airports. WILL IT BE LATE? The Stats tab shows the flight's recent punctuality: chance of delay and how many minutes it usually runs early or late. AND WATCH THE FARE In Deals, pick a route or a specific flight. FlightCue checks the price daily, draws the history, tells you if today's fare is low, typical or high, and notifies you the moment it drops. Your first three are free. ALSO • Departures and arrivals boards, airport weather and terminal maps, airline fleets and hubs. • Trip tab for documents, notes and itinerary; share a flight card; add flights to your calendar. FLIGHTCUE PRO Unlimited tracked flights and price trackers, real-time status and gate alerts, automatic calendar sync. Weekly or yearly, cancel anytime. Turbulence, wind and fare data are third-party forecasts and estimates; coverage varies by airline, airport and region. FlightCue does not replace instructions from your airline, airport or crew.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TravelMax at none against FlightCue's 2. TravelMax also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). FlightCue's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
