Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Planepoints at Free against Flight Board Pro Plane Tracker's $3.99. Flight Board Pro Plane Tracker's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 4). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Planepoints is free to download; Flight Board Pro Plane Tracker costs $3.99 up front. Flight Board Pro Plane Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Planepoints sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Flight Board Pro Plane Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flight Board Pro Plane Tracker has 2.2K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Flight Board Pro Plane Tracker's written reviews are positive against 63% of Planepoints's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Flight Board Pro Plane Tracker ships an update weekly, Planepoints every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
