# PlanesFYI vs ADSB Tracker Live

The clearest difference is rating: ADSB Tracker Live at 4.8 against PlanesFYI's 3.0. ADSB Tracker Live also leads on ratings volume (117 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). PlanesFYI's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ADSB Tracker Live sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. PlanesFYI asks for nothing beyond the download.

ADSB Tracker Live holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ADSB Tracker Live has 117 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of PlanesFYI's written reviews are positive against 75% of ADSB Tracker Live's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
