Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Inflight Score at none against FlightDeck's 6. Inflight Score also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 18%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). FlightDeck's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 11) and chart position (#43 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FlightDeck sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Inflight Score asks for nothing beyond the download.
Inflight Score holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FlightDeck has 1.5K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Inflight Score's written reviews are positive against 18% of FlightDeck's.
Inflight Score ships an update every 3 days, FlightDeck every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
