StarCompanion turns your iPhone or iPad into a second-screen MFD for Star Citizen. Live market data, your own fleet, contract scanning, mining reference, and a MobiGlas-style control panel - all on the device sitting next to your keyboard. TRADE • Ad-hoc route discovery ranked on live UEX Corp prices, sized to the actual cargo capacity of a ship in your fleet • Multi-leg run tracking: mark legs planned, bought, sold or deferred as you fly them • Chain the next leg from wherever you just landed, with onward options recomputed • Cargo Notes: record what you're carrying and get the best buyers for it • Every price figure carries its age, so you know when a number is stale FLEET • Build your fleet from the full FleetYards ship database • Cargo, crew, and hardpoint figures on every hull • Fleet totals feed the trade and hauling tools automatically HAULING • Scan hauling contracts with the camera - box counts, commodities, and stops read straight off the screen • Every scan lands in a review form first; nothing is saved without your confirmation • Route optimizer orders your pickups and drop-offs MISSIONS • Track accepted contracts, payouts, and progress alongside your runs NAVIGATION • Route planner with quantum fuel drawn from your ship's real tank • Browse systems, planets, moons, and terminals MINING • Rock composition and value reference • Consumable calculator for resistance and instability • One-gadget warning, because two blows the rock SHOP • Component and ship stock across known terminals • Rarity index for the parts nobody stocks JOURNAL • Live activity feed from your own game session via the desktop bridge FLIGHT CONTROLS • MobiGlas-style panel that sends keystrokes to your PC through StarCompanion Bridge, a free open-source helper you run yourself, over an encrypted local-network connection • Fully customisable layout: hide tiles, reorder them, add your own • Requires a Windows PC on the same network; controls are disabled and clearly marked when the bridge isn't connected REQUIREMENTS Market, ship, and shop data need a free UEX Corp API key, entered during onboarding. Flight Controls and Journal need StarCompanion Bridge running on your Windows gaming PC. StarCompanion is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cloud Imperium Games. Star Citizen is a trademark of Cloud Imperium Rights LLC. Market data provided by the UEX Corp community API; ship data by FleetYards. StarCompanion Pro is $4.99/month, auto-renewing until cancelled.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Warp at none against StarCompanion's 1. Warp also leads on iOS requirement (10.2 vs 17.0). StarCompanion's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
