Layout and data included can be adapted to your airline's own needs and operational procedures. The real data presented in the Flight Briefing App will come from your Airline's flight planning system (PPS, Navblue N-Flight Planning, other providers upon request), and contain the same information as you get in a traditional paper briefing package. An integration with your airline's flight planning provider and operational procedures is therefore necessary.

Verdict

Chart Guide Pro's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
