# FlightDeck vs CrewParent Live

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CrewParent Live at 100% against FlightDeck's 19%. CrewParent Live also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and ads (none vs shown). FlightDeck's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 2) and chart position (#15 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FlightDeck sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and CrewParent Live sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CrewParent Live holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FlightDeck has 1.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 19% of FlightDeck's written reviews are positive against 100% of CrewParent Live's.
