# FlyQ+ EFB vs AvareX

The clearest difference is rating: AvareX at 4.7 against FlyQ+ EFB's 4.1. AvareX also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (83% vs 72%). FlyQ+ EFB's advantage is ratings volume (892 vs 96). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FlyQ+ EFB sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and AvareX sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
