# PlanesFYI vs Overflight

The clearest difference is rating: Overflight at 4.7 against PlanesFYI's 3.0. Overflight also leads on ratings volume (23 vs 2). PlanesFYI's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Overflight sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. PlanesFYI asks for nothing beyond the download.

Overflight holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Overflight has 23 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 80% of Overflight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
