# FlightDeck vs iFlight Pro

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iFlight Pro at 100% against FlightDeck's 18%. iFlight Pro also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). FlightDeck's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 27) and chart position (#49 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FlightDeck sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and iFlight Pro sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iFlight Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FlightDeck has 1.5K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of FlightDeck's written reviews are positive against 100% of iFlight Pro's.

FlightDeck ships an update every 4 days, iFlight Pro every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
